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.

Very well done. Beautiful music. Beautiful child. A therapist mentioned to me that very few families follow up at home with prescribed activities, etc., to support what is done during therapy. Parents with children living with autism have demanding schedules, yet time must be allocated to reinforce therapeutic interventions. Thank you for including the websites at the conclusion of your video. AUTISM SPEAKS has been a great resource to our daughter, and for our grandsons.

Thank you for sharing this video. As a teacher I know that "if a child can't learn in the way we teach is our job to teach him/her in a way he/she can learn" I pray for a system that would allowed children like Tommy to learn and be the best that they can be.

BRAVO!! Although I cried the whole time I felt like someone was filming our Graham. I especially love the quote about the education .. free and appropraite.. you got it right-only if it could be taught in a free and appropriate manner!! May God continue to bless you and your family with progress and hope. Love, Caroline.

With your love and support Tommy will flourish! i wish you nothing but the best! Thank you, Tommy for sharing the world through your eyes!

Your video was so moving. Parents of children without such problems will never know and understand the pain and pleasure you deal with everyday. I'm becoming more aware and find that I need to become more involved in the fight to help find a cure. Donations alone aren't enough.

Thank you for sharing the photos. I hope that we can acheive a resolution to defeat autism! The # of children effected is disheartening! I hope
that with medical research that autism can be defeated. Is it the toxic immunizations? The
Health Dept. should do preliminary testing before administering immunizations! I am wondering, after your child received their immunization did
it effect their milestones?????

This video leaves Tommy's former speech therapist...speechless. I have watched it several times and each time I love him and all of you more.

Thank you for sharing your son with the world. My oldest son has Asperger's and it is a daily struggle with the world. I am a special ed. aide and am trying to get more information out there. I will use this video to educate. Thank you!

What a beautiful video! I am still crying as I write this. It takes such strength to be the parent of a child with a disability. Kudos to you for having the drive and LOVE to share Tommy with us. May you have the love and support that is crucial in raising Tommy. God Bless Your Family.
