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.

Bro. Larry and Sis. Trina. What can I say, but that I love you both dearly. I have seen you handle this situation as mighty overcomers. I know there are difficult days, but you both serve a mighty God. William is a perfect gift from your heavenly Father who knows all things. He has created him with beauty and miracles that sometimes we see and sometimes we don't but God always does. God is a healer and a deliverer. He is GOD and he works all things for our good. You have found favor with God because he knows you can care for this beautiful boy like no other can.

Bro. Larry & Sis. Trina...I had no idea William had Autism. Had I known, I'd have made some time to talk with you while I was visiting down there. Having a son with physical disabilities, I thank God everyday for the mental disabilities I DON'T see. I'm sure none of us know what you go through every day, but God knows all things, and knows just what we need to get us through. He WILL heal your boy, just like He will mine. I only pray He will be your strength and comfort in the mean time. May God richly bless you both.

May God Bless and Keep you all in this fight.
I'll be praying for you all--that God will continue the work in William's life, and in yours.

Trina & Larry... Words can't express the love you can tell you both have for your son. It is very evident in these pictures. I have a great respect for the both of you. It made Sharon and I cry to see the pictures. We will always pray for William
and know that God is BIG and ABLE. He cares!!!

What a touching presentation and what a beautiful little boy you have. Being a teacher, I am very aware of autism and there has been a lot of publicity about it lately on tv. We need to make more people aware of this so that research can be done to find a way of helping these amazingly wonderful children and their families, too! I hope our responses help in a big way!

Trina,
What an incredibly touching video! You both have a beautiful, special son.
Trina~ If you read these comments, would you please contact me? I run a volunteer program at a therapeutic riding center (www.medicinehorsecenter.org) and I would like to speak with you about permission to use this video in our volunteer training and on our website. I've been looking for something that really touches the heart to explain what we do and why we do it. The video you made of your precious son does this so well.
Thank you for sharing this!!
~Erica

BRAVO - Thank you for having the courage to share so beautifully the challenges so many others face. Bringing this to light is imperative for so many reasons.

*NOTE FROM TRINA & LARRY: We want to thank everyone who has taken the time to watch the slideshow. It's hard to explain to people how you feel, how you deal, how you go day to day feeling like your child was stolen from you. To see them slip away and be left with what seems like an empty shell is the worst thing. Every once in awhile you get a glimpse of them and you feel like you've just won a gold medal. William has made me us, so proud of him. He has made leaps and bounds since his diagnosis. Our fight isn't over but with God's help we will make it! God gave us a promise and we are going to cling to it. Thank you, again. We appreciate each and every one of you.

May the Lord richly bless you and if there is anything we can do for you please, don't hasitate to ask. God Bless. Brother Victor and Sister Eunice Flores
