The background is my wife and I are having another child in July (we don't know the gender yet). This is our 3rd, and we have run out of rooms for the baby. The mortgage itself isn't the problem, we can afford it and a little more, but when we go to sell the house after realtor fees etc we are going to be underwater by a significant amount.

So my idea was to make a site, try and get it on Reddit, and just ask for $1 donations. I have seen them raise money before, likely for much better causes though.

Any suggestions or improvements? I wrote the site using Rails 3 and Sqlite3, and there is no paypal integration yet (I was just going to update the counter manually)
