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.

Join me in my efforts to support WALK NOW! Hi, Thank you for taking the time to make a donation for our daughter, Cariaae. My name is Sonia Naomi, the mother of Cariaae. Here is her link if you want to make a donation to her cause. TO MAKE A DONATION FOR CARIAAE RIVERA PLEASE CLICK ON LINK BELOW: https://www.kintera.org/faf/donorReg/donorPledge.asp?ievent= 214851&lis=1&kntae214851=D8C0200A71E5460C8789601B6D139373&su pId=190306969 I am also a mother of 2 children. Our daughter was recently diagnosed with autism on May 2,2007 this year. She is a lovable little girl. We need full suppprt. It is very hard for us to ask for support while our daughter is trying to tell us what she wants day to day. She knows how to laugh, say momma, dadda and her big brother's name sometimes. I am asking you to help us by supporting my fund raising efforts with a donation. Your tax-deductible gift will make a big difference to our little girl as well as all children affected by autism. Together we can make an impact by supporting the advancement and acceleration of autism research. Thank you and God bless you all. Sonia Naomi From:Orlando,Fla USA

Hi, Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful video with everybody. I'm a Special Ed teacher and I work with many kids and students with autism. They are so special in their own individual way. They are so unique. Everybody is struggeling with different problems in their lives and all we need in that situation is love and support from family, friends, coworkers, and associates. Thank you once again.

Congratulations on all the hearts & minds you've touched and enlightened through your efforts to bring greater awareness to the public about autism. "It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." (Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets, page 333) You have taken this challenge and made the choice to work through it, and by doing so are creating a better world for your sons. Keep it up! YOU are making a positive difference. Love you!

Hi, I have a 9 year old son who has been diagnosed on the Austism spectrum. I received an email from Austism Speaks about your music video. I watched it and I cried. I watched it right after the MDA telethon. Your video has inspired me to "try" and contact CEO's of the music industry to help expedite a dream of mine. Wouldn't it be a wonderful idea to have an autism music video play during the SuperBowl. There are millions of TV viewers at this time. I attempted to send an email to SONY and a few others....The music industry as a whole could be the "crusaders" for this cause....I sent them a link to this page. I would love to see a music video done with this song and along with the word graphics about the stats of autism along with my sons picture and all other children that affected by this disorder. I just wrote to the "View" and asked for their guidance on how to accomplish this........ Lets see what happens

Wonderful video! My son was diagnosed at age 3 he his now 8! He amazes me everyday! My husband and family love him very much. I would not change a thing despite all the challenges we have and still may encounter. This Novemeber will be my second walk with Walk Now. My best to you and your family!

Amazing- You have a beautiful family. I cried and still am. My son is 6 and is mildly autistic, he was diagnosed at 2. This has been challenging for us. But we have definately come along way. It was a weight off my chest to see your video, and know that we have you to understand what we go through as a family and what these children live through. My heart goes out to you and your family and your beautiful boys. They show us love that is breath taking and teach us something new about life almost every day, and keep us grounded. Your very fortunate to have a family so involved and caring. And my prayers for you are that you and your family will continue to give all to those boys, because they are worth it. With much love the Hernandez Family- Austin, Texas.

Deborah Nelson: Go to autismspeaks.org There is a place to click so you can make a donation. Also on the site is a place you can check to see if your state has a Walk Now for Autism planned. You can contact Autism Speaks with your questions, & they will be happy to direct you to where you may fundraise to your heart's content! Thank you for your interest. Whether you live with autism in your home, or in your heart, it is comforting to have community support. Sincerely, Amy's mom, "grammypammy"

It's a wonderful feeling that parents don't push their children aside when there is a problem. The love that goes into parenting is surely shown by people like you. You have my prayers that this all works out. The love is there & that's what it is all about. When a door closes another one opens & parents like you are that open door with all your love to give. You are special people for special children.....

What a beautiful family. My heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to you.

Very touching... although I do not know much about autism, I feel compelled to pass along my heart felt thoughts to all of those parents who are dealing with this disorder day in/day out. I am still convinced the world is full of special people in more ways than one. Thank you for this video, and I wish all the best to you.
