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.

Brotherly Love is the Strongest Bond... My Boys are Robbie 5 & Jesse James 3. The Video reminds me of mine, Robbie is the best teacher ever... he even wanted to learn sign language to help his brother (which he did & knows about 40 different signs). Thanks For the Video... VERY TOUCHING!!!

I think that those childern have a connection that reflects more love and understanding than most people can comprehend. Those blessings will take them farther than any classroom lesson ever could.

What a beautiful video. My daughter has autism and has an older brother and younger sister. They have helped my daughter more than any therapy or intervention ever could. My son is so proud of his sister and encourages her in everything she does. My 2 year old put it very simply- I just love her. Thank you for sharing your family's love with all of us.

I've grown up very distant from my own brother, so this video touched a very soft place in my heart. Seeing the love between you two has helped me to heal. There's a song I like called Softer Now in the Broken Places. That's me now that I've seen you two. Thank you and best of luck moving through this world together.

Jake & Matthew, Two of my grandsons have autism. I hope as they grow up they continue to be as close to each other as you two are. Thank you for sharing! Happy Thanksgiving!

This video is moving. I have a friend who has a mild autism. He is very sweet, happy and a loving boy. I wish one day they would find a cure.

I find this video extremely moving. I am a teacher of special need children. I work with many children that have autism. I video bring me back to a child that I have had in 5th grade, who had a brother with autism and he has done so many wonderful things for him. He never leaves his side. I hope that one day a video like this would be move others to get involved with autism. Also, I would love to give my student the chance to shine because of all the hard work and sacrifice that he has given is little brother. I send my blessings to your supportive family, and my God bless all of you. Sincerely, John Giancaspro
