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.

I want to commend this family for instilling the value of unconditional love and understanding in such young boys. Being a sibling of a child with a disability is difficult, but not impossible. Bless all those families who live with this everyday. A special education teacher for 14 yrs!

Your video is so moving...brought me to tears. Your son is very lucky to have a big brother who loves him so much.

Beautifully done. These two brothers show the same loveing bond that my 11yr. old autistic son has with his 12 yr. old sister. They have always been best friends. This video serves as a reminder to take the time to see the beauty in what I have as a mother. How well done is this video? It brought my husband to tears. In 15 years, I've only seen him tear up twice. This was the second.

additional comment. Matthew and Jake have a silent brotherly understanding. Your video captures it. This is so significant in reaching these children; so much is there it just takes patience and love to tap into it. I have never experienced such a reward as a the smile from one of my students. I love each of them and Jake will always have his own place within my heart and teaching experience. Autism is just a different way of living and experiencing life; I have learned so much from my students, just as they have learned from me.

All I can say as single father of beautiful little boy Diego who is autistic, it was not in the cards to have another child so my Diego would have that special bond of a brother or sister. Jake and his parents are very lucky to know, he will ever be alone. And have loving brother by his side, very moving, Thank You.

I loved working with Jake for 5 years. Matthew was always so supportive and protective. I loved their interactions; so much love! Credit to you both, Carla and Scott, for raising such special young men! May the rest of the world know your triumphs and praise you for overcoming the struggles. Lots of love and admiration,
Jen
