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.

I cried when I saw this video- as a mother of a 3 yr. old with severe autism I often get discouraged and scared at the future of my child. I needed to see this video and read the other comments posted to once again be reminded to keep fighting for my child and for his future accomplishes. Thanks!

As I fight for my 7-year-old son with Autism, to move him to a better environment and to a place that offers him the services he needs for early intervention, alone, I often find myself frustrated at the wait I have to face. But, I will continue to fight for both of my boys! Thank you for this song and your story. It has giving me even more inspiration that I so desperately need to continue my battle. The love we have for our children is pure and true, and no one can take that from us.

Kim, What an awesome video. You are an amazing women and I think you said it best when you said "Our son will always have autism but, Autism doesn't define him" I have seen so much growth in him in the short time we have known you. You are so right regarding early diagnosis and intervention. I have learn so much from you. God Bless you and your beautiful children.

I have two good friend in Summerville, SC that have made such a difference in the lives of children. They have a gift to know what they need and how to help them succeed. I don't think most people understand what they do all day and how hard it if for teachers and their families. The little accomplishments are such a huge reward and blessing....Thank God for these teachers and parents that never give up on these special children.

My friend, whose son is autistic, sent this onto all of her Autism Awareness group. She is thrilled to know that finally therapists are clued into "early intervention". Thank you so much.

Wonderful and poignant. May God bless you and your family. I will send this to everyone I know and I will seek out a way to help.

This video was moving. I was not aware that Autism could be managed and not define the child. Thank you for the insight and many prayers for the children.

As a member of many children's teams I have seen miracle after miracle. Early intervention does work.
