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 loved this video also. I hope our educational system in all of North America can to be more educated and more helpful for our children in need.
No Child Left Behind? I found the question mark marked such a great statement in your video.

This was an amazing video that I was able to see via a link on a Facebook group. I am graduating from college soon and will be entering the education field with autism as my specialty. I hope to help provide children with the services that they need and deserve at the appropriate time. I am tired of these children being left behind, and I am willing to help fight for an appropriate eduacation for any child with autism that crosses my path.

Wow. I just gave a speech on Autism today and I really wish I had seen this video before. It helps to show just how normal children with autism are. Beautifully done!

When I saw this video of my little cousin I cried really hard. It was very touching, especially when it showed Tommy as the one and Riley as part of the 150. I miss you guys so much!!!

just gorgeous - thank you for that. Your chosen images to the lyrics, your added text, and such a haunting arrangement of the song - I am struck dumb. My son Ethan will be 13 this year - a whole new set of challenges in this, indeed, mad world.

Love the quote about teaching.
As a future teacher, I hope I can make a difference in all of my students' lives.
