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.

Our beautiful daughter has been fortunate enough to recieve therapies since eighteen months. She would be a completely different child had she not. We need to spread this message...if God has graced us, we need to grace others...

It so sad that once again it's reaffirmed that profit over people, profit over children, is still the prevalent ideology in the world today. I hope we can find a renewed sense of community and take back the lives they exploit. Infinite amounts of love and prayer go to each and everyone, may you never walk alone!

Thank you for this amazing video....it inspired me to make my own about my beautiful son Charles. I, too, am curious to know how Claudia is doing. Thank you.

This was a very touching video and the song accompanying it was appropriate. I have a a son who has Aspergers syndrome a form of autism. Although its a mild form of the syndrom he still shows many autistic tendencies in his behavior. He is 22yrs old now and doing well.. but there are some days that can be a struggle.

Linda, I do not know where you are from but here in Missouri there is a place called Judevine Center for Autism. They are a wonderful place.

Please don't think diet is the cure-all... you must get therapy and help. My grandson won't even eat the foods they say to give him that will "cure" him. No therapy is available for the eating problem currently and the doctors where he is barely know what Autism is. Education and getting the word out so money is allocated is key. Please email this website to everyone you know. We are our children's best resource. :)

Thank God for the librarian at the E. Islip Public Library. We wouldn't have necessarily had known that something was not quite "right" with my son. If it wasn't for her, we wouldn't have know about the evaluation at the school and he did receive the early intervention that he needed. Sometimes a mom or dad needs someone else that knows about this to make them aware. Thanks to several different therapies my son is very "normal" and I think we beat Autism!

As an educator and parent this touches my live in many ways. We must pull together and fight for this and the other disabilities that are affecting our children. Silence is not an option for us - or for the children.

Early intervention is the key to living a "normal life". My son was diagnosed with autism when he was 3. Our insurance at the time would NOT help us at all. We kept appealing every thing and eventually I switched jobs to get better insurnace and now one year after starting all the therapies (speech, occupational and behavioral) my son is emerging. He is now 5. He talks sentences and plays with his younger brother. He even says I love you!! I fully support this fight!! Stay strong!
