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 beautifully done, and Thane looks like a really neat boy. Seems that he can learn so much and has so much to offer.

I'm going to return to teaching special ed.
I miss the payoff and it's not in dollars.
Thane is a lucky little guy.

Rebecca! My autistic son has a lot of allergies also. Is your son on any of the diets? My son improved a lot on gf/cf diets and supplements. They really help...

What a beautiful video, I see a lot of my son in your son. My middle child has Asperger's tendencies and probably would have been diagnosed with Apserger's when he was 3, now at 9 a lot of his arm flapping and toy lining and repetitive motions/activities (head banging, singing the same verse of a song over and over) have slowly disappeared. Thane is a beautiful boy with an amazing spirit, thank you for sharing him with us.
