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.

This video made me cry~ Why don't people stop being so ignorant and start being more proactive. THAT'S WHAT I WANT! I do have something that has been shown to help children and people with Autism. Please... visit this link and try it out. I have phone numbers of people that it HAS helped... if you'd like I can get them for you. www.discoverlimu.com/followyourdream I wish I could make everyone better. I don't think it's right that this keeps getting worse because of ignorance...

We have to keep fighting, and bring awareness. we will find a cure through autisum speaks, they will help all of us. Good luck to everyone, my love and prayers are with you. G-d bless all of us

This child is so beautiful and her smile lifted my heart. I beleave that there is no way or reason to explain to a child why they have autism. Just love them, be there for them and help them thru life the best you can and support the cause to find a cure. God gives us challenges and along with those challenges are gifts and lessons to be learned. These children are the gifts and they do have a message to bring to us. They do teach us everyday.

This was such a great video. It was really cool that we got to see Addison blossom into such a beautiful young girl. You both are so brave for doing what you do, so keep up the amazing work! Thanks for giving hope to all those who have lost hope, and thank you for sharing your moving story with the world!

Bless you all. Thank you so much for sharing your story. As a parent of 3 kids , I am moved beyond mere words. We all must advocate for our children because our children will one day lead the world. May God bless each person who responds with a loving heart and donates much needed financial support to fund research. Together, we can make a difference. May God bless you and your loving family. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
