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.

I also have a son, Kiefer, who has Autism. He is now 12 and doing really well due to EARLY ABA therapy that focused on all skills, the whole child, not just rote academics. "Thank you" to you and all families who spread awareness of what "can be" when hope is alive!

That was so beautiful and so very touching. The "written" words and the words to the song made me really think and made me smile, too. Corey, it looks to me like you're really loved alot and you must be an amazing kid!

Corey -I really enjoyed listening to & watching your video. Have you watched it with you Aunt Amanda & Uncle Keith? I bet that they liked it, too. I didn't see any pictures of you playing basketball? What is your favorite sport? I am sure that you are getting ready to help your family with spring planting. Have fun, & continue to do a good job with your school work.

Your video is a masterpiece and so is Corey. He is richly blessed to have such a fabulous family. His time is coming, and we will all be amazed to see him in his divinely intended state. It's not very far away. I promise!
Love, Martha

That is one of the most powerful videos I have seen. God bless Corey and all those who know and love him. We have come a long way in educating people about autism, but we all have many miles to go before we sleep. I will continue to pass Corey's message along to everyone I know. Early intervention does work.

Steve & Heather, Thank you for sharing a bit of Corey with us! I have 2 grandsons on the autism spectrum. They were just recently diagnosed, so I'm reading everything I can get my hands on. Early intervention is only possible if parents are aware it exists. There are many children out there who are undiagnosed for various reasons. I am grateful for all those who are striving to educate the general public about autism. There IS hope smiling brightly before us! Research for earlier diagnosis & more defined treatments is accelerating, along with awareness & education (special thanks to Autism Speaks!!!) Until our 2nd grandson's diagnosis, there was a whole world of challenges & triumphs we barely knew existed...May your family continue to grow stronger & closer as you work through this puzzling world of autism together.
