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.

what a beautiful angel you have. I have a four year old son with other disabilities and he can not speak either. It is so hard when they are hurting or need something and they can't tell you. I also know what it feels like when kids ask you why he doesn't talk. It is so hard, but I don't know what I would do with out him. He is my heart and soul and has taught me more about life than anyone else ever has. God bless your family.

What an incredible message! You did a great job and have a beautiful little girl. Keep listening to her unspoken needs and feel the love she will give.

Beautifully done. When we listen with our hearts, we often learn more from them than they do from us.

Bobbie Jo & Donnie--thanks for showing us this face and letting us into this life. Gorgeous photos of a lovely child & family. My prayers for those affected.

All children are little puzzles, looking to see how their pieces go together, and it will take a while to see what the finished product will look like. Autism is a bigger puzzle with smaller pieces but beautiful just the same. You did a lovely job on your video - bless you for listening to your daughter's needs.

PLEASE PLEASE READ THIS!!! YOur daughter's story reminds me of my son and he is recovering!!!! My son is now doing amazing and recovering from autism with the gluten and casein free diet and supplements. He had regressive autism that I believe started after a flu shot. Then he got sick and was on antibiotics and oral steroids (for croup/RSV). He then disappeared into his own world. Symptoms Zack had were that he wouldn't answer to his name (we thought he was going deaf) and would go into "fogs" toe-walking and spinning, loss of eye contact, holding his ears, hair cuts became a nightmere, etc. I tried the GFCF diet and I saw a tiny bit of eye contact come back, so we knew we were onto something. We had his stool and urine tested (www.greatplainslaboratory.com) and was found to have yeast overgrowth (from antibiotics and oral steroids for croup/RSV). Zack was also found to have lead poisoning (possibly from recalled toys from China) and mercury poisoning possibly from flu shots. His GI system was a mess and we didn't even know it (well, acid reflux was a sign). This was affecting his absorbtion of minerals and vitamins and affecting his brain. The symptoms of mercury poisoning and autism are identical. http://www.nationalautismassociation.org/thimerosal.php Scroll down to the chart. Many, many, many parents are seeing results with biomedical treatment. It is more than just the diet, though. Some also have aluminum poisoning because that has replaced mercury in the shots. Go to http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/GFCFKids/messages The yahoo group GFCFkids helped me TREMENDOUSLY!!! I can't even tell you how much those 12,000 people helped me. They are helping other parents do the GFCF diet correctly and treat yeast, bacteria, heavy metals, etc. Once I treated his yeast, he stopped going into "fogs" and was talking more and more. Read the book HEALING THE NEW CHILDHOOD EPIDEMICS AUTISM, ASTHMA, ALLERGIES, ADHD by Dr. Bock. It is so helpful. Please look into it. It is helping SOOOOO many kids and has changed our lives completely. It is my passion to spread the word about this! There is a special place in my heart for these amazing children. I just want to help. email me bmansini@yahoo.com Thank you for sharing the video. You have a beautiful daughter.
