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.

Wow!! What a beautiful family you have. I am a second grade teacher who has had the privilege of working with several children with autism. Your video was very emotional to me, allowing me to remember each unique child I have ever met. You chose the perfect Five for Fighting song to document the milestones of William's young life. Your continued extraordinary parenting and tremendous involvement in his life will ensure many more wonderful years! You’re right, it’s not easy! But you’re living proof that there’s hope. God Bless!

Trina, what a beautiful job you have done with your family and the video. The video captures both the pain and the joy of raising a child on the spectrum. In the later pictures I could see little bits of William "coming back" and looking as happy as he did in the early pictures.
I am in awe of all the ladies who are doing such a wonderful job with their children. I know it isn't easy, but the time and effort you moms and dads put in is worth every smile and sweet kiss from those beautiful children. I wish only good things for all of you.

Should have known if anyone could express even a shadow of the reality of Autism, it would be you. The majority hears the word "Autism" and they think things like "strange people, crazy, them" or "those people". You have shown through your photos of William that "those people" are family members and are loved very deeply. Fantastic job of openning eyes and bringing the truth home, hun. Dang girl has talent ... must take after her Uncle Mike! Love ya Young'Un!

Trina, this video made me cry, I could see the change in William after the first year of his life, but never despair, God is in control. He will be completely well, I know this. You are a wonderful mother. We love you and your family.
