Second Order Differential Equation with boundary conditions not at zero

I have a differential equation of the form
y'' = C/(1-y)
where C is a constant
and the conditions y(0) = .5 and y(1) = 0
I need to be able to plot y between 0 and 1 for different values of C. The problem I'm running into is that it seems like all the diff eq solvers matlab has take the initial conditions in the form of y(0) = x1, y'(0) = x2... etc, and I cannot figure out how to give two conditions (one of which is not at zero) on y and none on y' or y''. Thanks in advance.
