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.

Mia is a beautiful girl! She is blessed to have such loving and dedicated parents who will not give up on her. May your dedication in trying to speak to her, be rewarded by her speaking back to you. Although I am not familiar with autism, but I understand there's lots that can be done for Mia. Don't give up!

It was a wonderfully done video. I have a sister who is 56 years old and is autistic.
Fortunately, today's world is different, and with constant public awareness, I believe we will see a cure for autism in your daughter's lifetime.

Do not lose hope! My son, Jimmy, has autism and he's doing things now that are nothing short of a miracle.

What a beautiful child you have, & also what a beautiful & touching video-story. I wish that someday the heartbreak you feel now will be replaced by joy when sweet Mia communicates with you & is cured. Because there IS a cure, & the people will come together and force the greedy, heartless insurance companies to help these beautiful children. My heart is with you. Good luck.

You don't know me, but I have worked w/ the autistic program in MI. God gives only special people special children. You are truly special and she will be an amazing person because of you.

Thank you for being the parents you are... for helping others understand... and for showing that it's important and do-able (inspiring others). You're always in my heart... Seattle.

Mia has already come a long way in the short amount of time I've known her. She couldn't have asked for a more supportive family and extended family!

We are quite impressed with this video. Congrats to Jason - good job! I did my thesis at UTSW on the subject of adult autism. There should be more support in this country for autism. Send less aid to our enemies, and take care of our own people!
We send our love....Jack and Kala

My daughter is aspergers. Our insurance does not cover treatment as well. Don't give up. Treat your daughter as normal as you can. She learns just not the same. You are in my prayers.
