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.

Amazing video Amy. Beautiful photos and the message is powerful. As a mother fighting this battle along with you and so many others, I can't imagine how chllenging it must to to be fighting it for two. I pray that our efforts will one day pay off and our voices will be heard. I know the efforts put forth today will change the paths for the children of tommorow. God bless you and your loving, supportive family. Keep up the amazing work you are doing to change this world for your boys and so many others.

Thank you for your comments on my video....It took a lot of work to get him in the outdoors...a lot of "Martina McBride" on a CD player...and a lot of small steps....

Thank you for letting us in to your lives. Knowing there are others out there and seeing it with our own eyes somehow makes it a little easier.

That was Awesome and made me cry! My son is 8 and has autism. He has been denied services from the regional center and I have no help. Thank you for your awareness and thank you to Mark Leland for sending me the link.. I will pass it on to my Challenger baseball team I coach here in Cypress, California for special needs children, most who have autism. To view my son's videos, here is the link.. http://www.youtube.com/autismom6

This video is amazing, you have two beautiful sons. My uncle Stanley was autistic but born in an age where people didn't check for it or care, he passed away last year alone in his home and there aren't two many days that I don't think of him in some shape or form.
I will post your video on my website if thats ok with you.

Tomorrow is a special day for Amy Baker & her family. It is the Inaugural Autism Speaks Walk Now for Autism @ Cottonwood High School. Please help us raise money for research! Go to: www.walknowforautism.org/utah & donate to "Our Boys, Our Purpose". Amy has worked very hard for almost a year getting this Walk organized. She has an incredible co-chair: Amanda Patten, and an awesome Walk Committee. Utah is one of the top 3 states for diagnosed cases of autism---1 out of every 133 in Utah, compared with the national stats of 1 in 150. PLEASE FORWARD THIS VIDEO SITE TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW, WITH AN INVITATION TO HELP RAISE MONEY FOR AUTISM RESEARCH. Thank you. One day, children with autism will live without insurance discrimination. They will live with more tolerance, understanding, compassion, and community support. PLEASE become a part of the solution to autism's puzzle.
