A project I've been familiar with for a long time, Chance Raspberry's "Little Billy" will be a Kickstarter campaign this coming September 20, 2012. A member of The Simpsons production crew in Burbank, Chance has been developing Little Billy since 1999. The story involves a 4-year-old boy named Billy Harper with his own brand of a rare mental condition. Having been diagnosed with Tourettes Syndrome as a young child, Chance is developing Little Billy as the first cartoon to feature a character that suffers from and overcomes a similar disorder. His goal is to raise $30,000 in thirty days to produce the pilot episode. Here's a link to the Forum topic with more information. You can also get a preview of the Little Billy Kickstarter Campaign here. Take a look at the promotional video Chance has produced in anticipation of the campaign.
