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.

That video was so moving Jason. Early intervention needs to be equal in all states. I'm so glad your getting your little girl back . I imagine you still have a long road to travel, but its one filled with hope.

Hi Jason, My 17 month old son, Matty, is identical to your Maddie. He started disappearing just after his birthday. We are trying desparately to find help, before he's gone forever. How old was she when you started therapy and what did you do? You can email me directly at Juleet@aol.com, if you get this. I hope to hear from you. Thanks

Your story was heartfelt. As a mother of a daughter about Maddi's age, I wept tears of sorrow for your family during the first segment of your movie. My tears turned to those of joy when the movie turned to Maddi's progress. I wish nothing but continued hope and happiness for your family. You'll be in our family's prayers!

Wonderful video... what more parents need to see. My son, 17, has come so far with early intervention utilizing everything we could as treatments became available. Above all, Ross has worked hard. Your Maddi is going to be fine. Keep up the dedicated support. You have beautiful girls... Do updates for us!

That was very moving, Jason. Thank you for sharing your personal journey with the world. I have a 3 year old diagnosed wtih ASD at 20 months and you are right early intervention is key. I am also lucky enough to be in a county with a mill levi tax that funds an orginization that aids all children with varying different abilities.
I'm so glad your girls have their Maddi back.

Wonderful video. I work with with special ed kids in an elementary school. We would like to show these videos to other classes but they were to choppy and it was hard to hear the music. Is there a way to get them so they are not that way. Thank you for all that you do!! Sincerely, Chuck
