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.

Tylers story is so inspiring even to those who are part of his life and watch him grow everyday! We are all so proud of you here at the Family Linkages Foundation of Alberta, you work so hard to help your son be all he can be.

Kudos to Tyler and his family! So much love, courage, hard work and dedication in one family is wonderful to behold. You're a lucky little boy, Wyatt, to be born into such a devoted family!

These angels with broken wings are here to make us better than we were born. Small portions of their lives were sacrificed so that we can prove, or become the people God meant us to be. I know, my daughter has saved me time and time again.

May God bless you and you're family, he will go far in life and will be a roll model for others, I know from my experience with my child and my nephew that he is here for a reason!!!

That was like a trip down memory lane. My son is now 15 and was diagnosed shortly before the age of 3. I remember pleading with the sped preschool teacher to tell me my son would eventually talk. I remember the tantrums, biting, and terrible frustrations because he had no way to communicate. I remember the stares from ignorant people. I am thankful for his early intervention. He is a remarkable teenager, he has humor, love and happiness in his life. I wish you as much success with your son as I have had with mine.

I worked at an autistic pre-school program at the elementary school my dad works at. The two days I spent there were so insipiring. It put my dreams in place, and now I am positive what I want to do with my life. This video was amasing, I almost cried.

Tyler is so beautiful. You should feel very proud of him. My two boys have Autism and your vidoe reminded me alot of them and the progress that they have made over the years. Keep the faith.

My cousin has autism but we all accept him how he is and we love him no matter what. I know it can be tuff but my aunt has the support of her family and friends and knows that we are always here for her when she needs us.
