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.

Your son is in such capable hands! No wonder he reflects such joy in his countenance. I hope you are feeling all the support you need, & making sure to keep your own cup filled. Moms do so much for their families, & can easily forget to do something for themselves. I'm certain your video has given many an added measure of hope & strength. Thank you for sharing a bit of Austin!

I am a teacher for beautiful children like your sweet boy. I am also the grandmother of two of the most loved grandsons with autism. Keep working, he is still young and full of possibilities. Wonderful possibilities!

Awesome! God gave you a gift when he gave you Austin! Thanks for sharing your gift with me - The more education we receive on special needs, the more tolerant the world becomes. You are a beautiful person :)

Our situation is far too common to be so mostly invisible.

Thank you for the beautiful video. My 9 year old son, Jacob has Fragile X syndrome with autistic characteristics. I can so relate to your challenges. Keep up the great work!

Thank you for sharing your story. I wish we could have more education with new mothers since they do not usually have the knowledge or source of comparison to see the difference between a healthy and delayed development. My grandson has made great stides due to his parents fight for early intervention. I pray his success will continue through out his lifetime.

I have watched SO many of these videos but the one of Austin touched me so deeply. Your descriptions of him......nonverbal, sensory issues, using PECS, his facial expressions and mannerisms in the pictures remind me so much of my little angel, Blake. He was diagnosed at the age of 18 months in the severe range. He will turn 3 on February 20th. I have watched your video over and over and have tears each time. Thank you for touching my heart. I would love to correspond a bit more if you would be willing. tcmerten@charter.net. Sincerely, Cindy
