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.

What an awesome story of adoption and love and family. Your family is amazing and is an example of love to many others around you. God has truly blessed you with Marco and we have all witnessed your faithfulness and perserverance during this last year. I am so glad that I am part of your church family and to know you as a friend.

Thanks for sharing this brief glimps of Marco's story. I thought you two were angels for wanting to "save" Marco and make him one of your family. You and Dan were chosen for Marco and Amanda and Sara, too, have been amazing sisters to Marco. It is evident in the photos how much you all bring to each others' lives.
