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.

I have a son that was diagnosed with Autism at age 3. After a year of hard work and prayer, he is starting to talk in 1 word answers, and some 3 word sentences. With more awareness, can come more help, understanding, and a cure.

My 5 yr old daughter was diagnosed with PDD last year. I'm happy to see that the public is being educated about autism. When society understands more about it, maybe we will find a prevention or cure for the obstacles our children go through.

What a great video!!! It brought me to tears because I have a son that was recently diagnosed with autism. He is a special gift from God and I want to thank you for all of your efforts to find a cure.

My wife works with autistict kids mainstreaming them into appropriate age/grade level elementary schools. She has been doing this for several years. What I've noticed is that where there is outsanding support from the child's parents there is growth with the child. My heart and prayers go out to all the parents who have autistic children. You are true heroes

The song takes on a new meaning for a mother with a 10 year old autistic son named Aaron who did finally say "I love you Mommy" at 5 years old. Thank you Five for Fighting for what you are doing to find a cure for Autism.

Thank you to Five for Fighting, Bill Shea and the invisible individuals who contributed to this and cared enough to do so. When my now 19 year old wonderson was diagnosed, the incidence was 1 in 650. 1 in 94 is extremely alarming. We need to start thing about intentional communities, like Sun City, coops, or some desireable equivalent as safe adult havens for these loved individuals. Grateful thanks.

Thank you FiveForFighting. I have a 9 yr old son with Autism. He has helped me become a better parent. I pray someday that we find a cure, but until then I wish that people would try to understand and not judge. Matthew may look normal on the outside, but he is special on the inside. God Bless all of us Parents, Grandparents and Caregivers of these special angels.

I don't have a child with autism, but know parents of an autistic child, so thank you, FiveForFighting, for all that you do for Autism Speaks.

My son of 23 years has Autism. He is the light of mine and his sisters eyes. We have learn so much from him. We also learned not to take things for granite. I was told he would never walk or talk. It may have taken years for this to happen but with mine and his sisters help he does walk and talk. He may not beable to live alone in this world but he is LIVING in this world. Thank you to all who keep trying to find the answers to this remarkable condition. J,H and D

I, too, was broguht to tears. What an incredibly moving video!!!

What a beautiful video! It brought me to tears since I worked with autisic children for three years. It was one of the most rewarding jobs I've ever had. These children have so much to offer. They taught me so much. They are bright, fun and so loving. Their faces have painted the most beautiful picture in my memory. I'm looking forward to hearing about their successful futures and I pray everyday that we find a cure soon. With God's help, we will.

Thank You So Much to Five for Fighting for donating their time and money on this video for Autism awareness. A Special Thank You to Bill Shea for seeing the beauty in all children even if they rock back and forth and swing their arms a little wider than the rest of us.

there are few families that autisum doesn't touch in the world today. I hope that we soon learn the cause and that there is a cure for it.

I pray for all of those who have been touched by Autism and hope that it can someday be a thing of the past.

What a great video to go along with our cause. Maybe now people will listen. More and more people are being touched by this everyday. We need to do more to help not only the little ones but also the older ones with Autism.
