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.

A very touch story and such a lovely little girl. Makes one realize how precious little ones are and have a way of touching your heart.

Hi Colleen, I want to thank you for sharing Jenna's journey with a world that needs to know how special and precious she and others in the spectrum are. We are so proud to be her grandparents God has truly blessed us with a very special little girl. She is so gentle and loving. God has opened up a world to us that we had no realization of until Jenna came along. Love Grammy and Grampy

Wow!! How touching.... nice job Colleen....you have a beautiful family! Each child special in their own way I am sure.....Your story of Jenna and your jouney through her young life is so so beautiful. What a blessing in your lives ...I have worked with you as a nurse...you give all that you have to your profession, as I know you do in raising your children and doing whatever it takes to help Jenna and to open her world.I know this video will not only touch all who watch it, but help many people to understand Asperger's and give them the incentive and support to get through. Nice job! A smile is definately worth a thousand words.......

What a beautiful little girl & such a touching story. Early intervention has been so key for our son Jamin also, as it has been for thousands of children of autism. Best wishes to you & your family.
