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.

Dan & Sharon, Marco may have taken the "detour route" to get to you, but he was meant for you to raise. You can see the light in his eyes, the light of Christ's love, as it is also reflected in your countenance. A brilliant leader once said, "Expect the best and then work to make it happen." I BELIEVE YOU WILL. Grammy Pammy of "Our Boys, Our Purpose".

What a beautiful story! I have cried lots of happy tears, seeing that Marco has been blessed with such a wonderful story. It is tuly apparent that your has family has been blessed by Marco as well. We are currently adopting a daughter from China. Her name will be Hatton Kalish/www.babyjellybeans.com, My prayer is that we give abundant love to her some day, just as you have given Marco!

Amazing how God sends you on a mission trip and you eventually come home with a grandson! Thanks for sharing this beautiful story. My nephew also has autism, so I'm very familiar with the struggles. Kathy B.

What a beautiful gift God has given Marco in the loving form of your family. I can't look at these pictures with out tears in my eyes. I am so glad I get to see you each week and get to watch Marco's face light up as he looks in your eyes and listen to him laugh and see him clap his hands and share the new cool things he can say. Thank you for sharing Marco with us!

Your video portrayed a beautiful story and tony and I are so happy to have met Marco a couple of years ago, even if it was just once. Tony said how proud he was to watch the video knowing that his aunt Patsie and Uncle Charlie helped give marco a better life and see that now he seems to be with a great family.
