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.

She is a lovely girl! I enjoyed the video. We have a son who is 15 and he communicates very well. My heart goes out to all autistic parents. Keep the faith!!

What a beautiful little girl. I do not have a child with a dx of autism but I do have very close friends who do. As an outsider you can see the happiness that you have brought to her through those bright blue eyes and beautiful smile. Keep doing what you are doing. You are beautiful parents! Just the cure that Addison needs.

Thank you for sharing your story. She is absolutely a gorgeous little girl. I am sure she is so loved and feels it and loves you all so much...even though she can't say it.

She is truly an ANGEL! Remember you are not just teaching her she is teaching all of us. May God bless every moment. Keep up the good work and never give up. Just when you think no one is there and it is just to hard, Addison will be there for you. She is your Angel. She is helping you as much as you are helping her.

Addison is such a beautiful little girl. Her eyes show so much love and sweetness. I pray a cure will come very soon. Your video was absolutely precious. Thank you for sharing these adorable pictures of Addison and opening the eyes of the World. One can see the special love and support you and your family provides to Addison and I'm sure like you said, "she says everything without saying a word." You can see her thoughts, emotions and love for life expressed in her eyes. What a beautiful little girl, inside and out.

As a sub-stitute teacher I was invited to do the Great Teach-in - demonstrating The World of Dragon Boat Racing..I had the great pleasure experiencing 5 year old children with Autism..I was fascinated with the different levels of that disorder..As I was leaving the boy child with the most severe form of Autism..Completely disingaged from the world..weeping some..Looking up.Never making contact eye to eye..As I went to leave and said my good-Bye he walked over to me and held my hand..It made my day..It may me realise that they are certainly aware of our presence but lost in a World of the unknown..I would like to see Autism in the teenage and adult stages..Do they recover to any degree of normal behavior?Joyce Fornero
