How This Works

For all donations, whatkindofworlddoyouwant.com will distribute approximately 90% of money donated to the selected charities. This is determined primarily by the amount of views per charity and available funds. The 10% expense includes Revver.com's .01/view webhosting cost, California Community Foundation's 1.25% administrative expense and site maintenance. Contributions to the California Community Foundation represent irrevocable gifts subject to the legal and fiduciary control of the foundation's Board of Directors.

For videos which have received 30,000 or more views, whatkindofworlddoyouwant.com may elect to add a click through advertisement at the end of such videos to defray web hosting expenses. As our objective is to donate the most funds possible to our charities, this will eliminate substantial expenses incurred by revver's .01 per view charge on videos with millions of views.

whatkindofworlddoyouwant.com is the property of John Ondrasik and is administrated by John and the Five For Fighting management team at Jim Grant Management.

whatkindofworlddoyouwant.com has no paid staff or personnel.

THANK YOU. I have a five year old son who is on the autism spectrum. And I would want him no other way. He has taught us so much and is still teaching us. I never knew I could love so deep till he came to us from god. Thanks for your support.

As a soon to be divorced mother of 5 year old Robert, who was unofficially diagnosed at 18 months with moderate to severe autism. I absolutely can relate to the degree of difficulty a parent must endure watching, an especially non verbal child, try to cope with everyday life. Our children struggle each minute of everyday to accomplish the things that most of us take for granted. It's heart wrenching. But, my son is the most inspirational, beautiful, loving, person I have ever met. I am in awe of his strength, his accomplishments and his determination. He has had such a powerful, positive impact on my life and the lives of everyone around him. Robert is truly amazing, in every sense of the word. My son is thriving with the help of numerous interventions, most markedly, early intervention, which is so very important in targeting and addressing the symptoms while the child is still young. Videos like this one and Autism Everyday, help to bring awareness to our cause. Awareness to the people and the legislation that must begin and continue to fund the resouces that are imperative for early intervention and continued progress, for my child and the millions like him. And yes, I would give anything for Robert to be typically developing child, but he isn't, and I wish with all my heart that we could live in a world where autism doesn't exist, but we don't. So, we, as parents, as family members, as educators and service providers, have to do everything we can, to find out what causes it, find ways to prevent it from happening to other children and fund the resources that are necessary for the children and adults already affected by autism, to live full and independent lives. For this, we need the government to sit up and take notice that 1 in every 150 children IS AN EPIDEMIC. That is the kind of world that I truly wish for all of us.

THANK YOU. Such a beautiful video to show just a glimpse of how wonderful these children are. My 10 yr. old son with Autism shows me everyday! I want a world with unified knowledge, awareness, and care for children with Autism. That's when we are helping them. My heart is full with gratitude to see that in this video.

Wow! As I sit in my starkly quiet home at 2 in the morning I cannot find the words to express the peace that I am feeling now that my sweet little boy can be a part of our world. He has made such progress and exceeds my expectations everyday. I am so thankful to everyone out there who is making history in this fight against autism.

My eight-year-old son is on the autism spectrum. I believe that he teaches me more each day than I teach him. I love his perspective. This song brings tears but also strength. Thank you.

I loved the video. I have 2 boys (Adam-10 & Armando-8) with high functioning autism. Although people are becoming aware of what autism is, we still need to reach those that think this is a condition that children will eventually grow out of. This is a great way to do it. Keep up the great work!!!!

Our beautiful Cree has PDD-NOS, and though she is not very verbal, she tells us she loves us every day, in her very special way. I don't understand this disorder, or why it happens, but God has his plan. Cree is four years old and was diagnosed just over a year ago, some people can be so cruel and crude. Others are very understanding and curious. I am very proud of my Cree-Bell as well as her baby sister Kyra who is 2 1/2 and "normal". They both bring me so much joy every day, and I cannot imagine my life with out them. That was an awesome video that still has me crying. May we find a cure....soon!

I have been watching the world through my autistic grandson's eyes for 12 wonderfully, amazing years! Thank you for spreading the 'word'.

When my son Louis was diagnosed with autism, the odds were 1 in 10,000....those odds didn't seem so bad until it was my son. Powerful video, tender heart. I want a world where Louis has an opportunity to grow old with kind souls who offer Louis a way to speak with no voice.

It is such a beautiful song for such a big cause.To have my son say I love you and to put autism in a history book would be a wonderful world to live in. Thanks!!!

I am working in a group home where all 4 of them have autism. I am very touched that so many others care enough to try and help out. I love my kids in the home. They make me laugh everyday.
