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.

You are so strong, I don't even have the strength to get past the scare of having a second child, so really am amazed by your strength. I have no imagination what it takes to get through your day. Your doing it, and making it work, with love and care. You and your children are miracles in a world that doesn't appreciate enough. Your family is appreciated. Keep it up. Thanks.

I clicked your link through your signature on a cafe mom post. I haven't very much experience with autism myself, but my best friend works with an autistic boy. We watched him grow from a non-verbal 18 month old to the bright, funny, very verbal 7 year old he is now. It's amazing.
Your story touched me a lot (okay, okay, it had me in tears). Not because I was sad for your little one, but because of the obvious love he & your daughters have. It shows through the video. I applaud you all.

I admire your innovative play and willingness to let them be messy!
