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.

Thank you for sharing such a beautiful video. We too live in Ohio and have a son named Connor who has autism. Early Intervention has helped our son grow, learn to communicate his feelings and share his joy. We are just beginning to get ready for Kindergarten. Though we are very nervous about the future, we know that we are blessed to have such a gift in our lives.

Have you tried the wheat and dairy free diet with Connor? It has helped our autistic son a lot.

What a touching video. We feel much as your family does about our son Jamin. We've learned that, with autism, his progress can be three steps forward, two steps back. We rejoice over that one step maintained. While we want to give our children all the early intervention help we can, to get them through that window of opportunity, we want to remember to let them have a childhood too. Thank you for sharing your story.

Simply beautiful. Your words echo so many of my very thoughts and feelings about my own son with autism. I still find it hard not to look back and wish for the times when I didn't know there was anything wrong; when everything was "perfect." I want to rip up the old lists and write up new ones, too. Thank you for putting your lives out there for others to relate to and learn from. God bless.

Thank you for sharing. We have an "angel" also, our 4 yr old Logan. Your video is great and you all are amazing. I felt compelled to make a video too and feel that the more people that see them the better off our children will be. God bless all of you!!

What a wonderful video. My son will be 3 early in May, my daughter is 17 months old. He has been diagnosed with Asperger's recently. He was the smiliest most loving baby. Your family reminded me so much of ours. Best wishes. What an amazing, beautiful boy!
