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.

I cannot open the videos. My 6 year old son has autism, he is the light of my life, and he is getting better every single day. His daddy and I love him very much.

As a former early interventionst, I am so touched by this video. These children and families are so wonderful and just want to help their children to be understood. The more we know and push for knowledge and research about this disorder, the more we can help these children and families. Early intervention helps so much and can make such a huge difference in the lives of the people who experience autism .

This video had me in tears. My son has Asperger's Syndrome. Seeing videos such as this one and reading everyone's comments makes me realize how far he has come. I need that reminder from time to time.

I am a speech therapist and I absolutely ADORE these children. I have about 20 on my caseload and definitely know that I will never stop working with this population. They make my job so much fun and keep in interesting. I wanted to let all parents know that I am totally amazed at what you do for your children and do not ever stop. It is the persistant parents and professionals that are making break throughs with these fascinating children.

My son has autism since he was diagnosed at age 2. We thought he was getting better, but now shows signs of getting a little worse. Its hard for him to sit still for anything, but he sat still for this beautiful video. That's amazing for him. Maybe the people that could help our children sit down and watch this video or even visit children in there state and see how they interact. These children are beautiful inside and out. Parents and teachers need help to keep that way. They deserve a future as bright as anyone else. I will always keep loving and fighting for my son and others with autism.

I enjoyed the video alot. The song / music was very appropriate. My daughter, Alyssa has autism.
I would like people to understand that Alyssa is not strange or has some sort of a disease that they might catch. And that she's a beauitful little girl with feeling and a world full of love to share if they only give her a fair chance. Keep strong...to all of us parents with loving autism children.

I'm getting my master's degree in music therapy because I have been so touched by the children with autism that I have worked with in the past spending my last five summers as a paraprofessional in a self contained special education classroom. To all you parents out there: it was kids like yours who opened my heart and changed the course of my life. Thank you.
