Game development has become more accessible to non-professionals with tool suites such as GameSalad, which is what 11-year-old Conner Haines used to start his own studio, Flip Flop Games. Through Flip Flop, Haines began the BElieve program, where he turns game ideas from cancer patients age 5-12 into real iOS titles, with all profit going to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Flip Flop's app sales clock in at more than 1,400 so far, and it sounds like Haines is just getting started. He says it takes him two to three months to complete an idea, and eligible kids can submit their ideas right here.

I am emailing him to push him to include a donation link on his page, as I am going to somehow and I'm sure others are compelled to as well.

I usually get depressed thinking about how children are our future. Things seem less bleak after learning that kids like him exist.

You're awesome kid. If I had an iPhone I'd buy something. Put a link on your page for PayPal donations.

I love you, I don't know you, and probably will never meet you, but that doesn't matter.
