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.

Beautiful Video, well done. I applaud you as parents in all your efforts. I can relate. I have an Aspergers son who wasn't diagnosed until age 7, and my youngest son has the same birthday as Michael.

May God be with you on your continued journey in the development of your son! My nephew has aspergers and he is so special. He was not diagnosed until age 8 and with continued developmental strides and the love from his parents he is coming along wonderfully. God Bless your family!

A beautiful video; a beautiful child. More needs to be done; the numbers are frighteningly high. My heart (and donation) go out to all families with children locked away by autism.

God bless you all and your children too. It really brings attention to the matter of autism when you see such an innocent child. We need to do all that we can. The song was absolutely beautiful.

i could not agree with you more--we can not do it alone and remember you are not alone! my justin is now 9 and it has been a long hard road, one in which we continue to follow, and you just have to remain strong and remember that you are his voice! my husband have fought for justin--fought the insurance companies, the school districts, the doctors--i think we all wish for a world where the doctors would not say "don't worry --he will be fine!" beautiful video--lauren

Susan and Greg--this is beautiful and I feel so honored to have Michael in my class this year. He is truly a special little boy and you are wonderful parents. I hold you all in my prayers.

This site should bring awareness to some good causes. I did have difficulty viewing the videos.
