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 love you and miss you and I ALWAYS will. I'm so grateful that I had the opportunity to be apart of your family and take care of Maryellen when she was a newborn. I so admire you Kim. Much love, AMY

Your video speaks loud & clear ! Keep fighting is RIGHT ! We are their voices. Early intervention rescued our son. He did learn eye contact, sign language & now at 8 is doing incredibly well. I had to fight, but had an awesome team of specialists. Don't listen to those who say give them time...we know our children !! Loved your video & words ! My best wishes to you & yours. :)

I may be only 16 but my mom is an early childhood special education teacher and i understand your childrens disease. I have learned to help those with uncurable diseases and i dont think anyone understands how much work you and the teachers put into these kids. I just wanted to acknowledge you all. Excellent work!

Early intervention is the key and not just for children who have been diagnosed with Autism, but for any of the wide array of developmental disabilities. Thanks to our federal government for finally listening to researchers, cilincians and the countless others who have dedicated their lives to improving the lives of these children and adults.

Awesome Video, I do belive early intervention is the key. I have seen Diets,Immuniation scares, Special creams, vitamins and countless other CURES come and go in the last 10 years. The one consistant tool with long term success is early intervention.Lets get the Word out NOW.

My son has two friends with Autism and it is wonderful to watch the achievements of these brilliant young men as a result of early diagnosis and intervention. God bless you and your beautiful children. Did I recognize "perfect Pam" in the video? She was a God send for both my kids.

With tears I sit here feeling selfishly blessed that my children are not effected by this illness... and at the same time, I want to fight for your children, because the simple truth is they are ALL OUR CHILDREN. Many blessings,

What a beautful video. Thank you for sharing your family. Early intervention is the key--thank you for your devotion to the cause and hopefully someday, a cure.

Your video is so amazing. Your words are powerful. I have watched many videos on this site and though they are all beautiful yours has really struck a cord in me. Your words are profound. Autism does not define a child. As a teacher I find your words inspiring. Thank you for sharing your children with the world.
