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.

Oh, Dan & Eric - As if it were possible, I am even more moved, touched and inspired by you; and this song makes me fill with tears of joy as much now as the first time I heard it in the warmth of the hillside living room. xo Stefani

God - Can you guys write or what? Sorry Eric had to write about this subject, but it is an inspiraion to all of us no matter what our circumstances might be. And are we ever in need of inspiration in general these days! Hang in there with us Eric..so we can catch up with your depth and courage dude.

Well, this makes all my worries, troubles, doubts, fears, regrets, disdain and isolationism seem so small compared to the courage, joy, direction, dedication, talent, creativity, inspiration, love and affability you embody in your work. I love you both. I am ashamed that I haven't seen more of you in these last few years, but I spend so much of my time preoccupied by the first part of this sentence that I leave little time for anything else. Thanks for this beautiful gift. God bless you always.

An amazing song, and a wonderful video. As good as anything you've ever done...in some ways better. I hope to be in town the next time you play Balto/DC, I'd love to catch up. Big Love!

Sometimes a thing like this comes along on such a day when I need a kick in the head or similar body part! Thank you so much. It's a deep and gorgeous inspiration. And plain ol' great song!

I cried tears of joy and sadness all at the same time. I guess that's what life is,one could not exist without the other. Eric you are a true inspiration.You and Dan have proved that true friendship can overcome any obstacles. Love you both++

This was humanity at its highest. Seeing Kathryn, Ali and Angee and all the beautiful singers unite was quite unique. The song is truly gorgeous as were all the faces. The courage I saw was the most inspirational part though. Thank you.

Beautiful! I traveled the ALS journey with my Dad in 2006, 8 quick, devastating, beautiful months. He earned his wings January 5, 2007. What a beautiful song!!! We, too, had to learn to fall, and get back up, and fall . . . God bless you all.

My Mom, a PALS who lost her fight on Jan 2, 2007, was a singer and would have loved this song...and would have loved to sing it. Absolutely beautiful! I'm hoping to be able to download it from ITunes. God Bless!!

LOVED IT! Embraces the essence of this disease. I would also love to hear the latter Spanish version developed and perhaps also released on your album (which I plan to purchase). I will wistfully sing along(as I am losing or lost my speech and voice). Another PALS ~ Margie
