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.

It is beautiful. so gently with your song, you took me and led me into a world that is barely imagined yet with your lyrics as my star you led me snd I so willingly follow to a place that I can only glimpse with your guidance or thru' a dream. YOu ask what kind of world do we live in and what do we wish for? As a mother & a grandmother of 5 children, i wish for every one of them to reach out & hold a child close enough to hear him, to feel him, to see his beauty and in a perfect world, maybe some of that child while leave an imprint on our souls to be a constant reminder that we have more to learn and so much more to give, especially of ourselves & our time.
Thank for something so simple yet so brilliant & insightful.
again,thank you, Kristel

The captions were flashed much too quickly for me to read them. However, enjoyed the video.

I have a beautiful child with a dual diagnosis of Down Syndrome and Autism. My "lovey" is 13 years old. He just started saying "Mom" recently..music to this mother's ears! He is the light in my life.

My brother's autistic. only slightly, but it's enough. He won't have alot of opportunities most other people will, and he probably will never be able to hold own a job.
A little autism goes a long way, I guess.

My grandson, Andrew, Is autistic, and he is a sweet, loving and affectionate child. He needs more ABA therapy. We need to urge others in the medical field and the government to not only do more research, but to better fund these special children. they depend on us. They cannot do it themselves, so let us all be their advocates.

Very touching video that shows how serious autism is and that all children deserve a chance.

What a wonderful video. I really wish more individuals would acknowledge what children, teenagers and adults are experiencing with this disability. No one understands that this is very difficult on everyone in a household to cope with. Determination, patience and belief are key factors for the cure. May God be with all that are coping with autism in our uneducated world. The environment just wants to blame the parents/household and living environment. NOT TRUE. Autism is lack of respect, need, affection and love. Individuals being diagnose with autism are very very very intelligent. Shame on society for not being seeing this - everyone on this earth is different and equal (take away material things). I have experienced autism and seen positive results due to love and care. These individuals surpassed everthing - grades, sports, college and most of all our environment due to the love and care they deserved.

What a touching video. As a mom of a 17year old diagnosed at 2 as Autistic Sevant, we have had wonderful teachers and he will graduate high school next year with a regents diploma. Don't give up hope these children are Gods greatest gifts.

I work with autistic high school students and everyday I learn something new. I wouldn't trade my job for anything. The students that I work with are some of the best people I know. This is a great cause. Thank you.

This is an incredible tribute, and the song is amazing!
I have a friend who is autistic, and I love her to pieces!! But I also think that just because autistic people aren't 'normal' it doesn't mean that we should try and mould them to be like everyone else. They were made to look at things differently, and so the world through their eyes is a wonderful place, so why should we teach them to look at it like WE do? I think autistic people are amazing, and they have these... abilities that they should be entitled to hold on to...
but hey, that's just one girls' opinion!!
Amazing, amazing video!!

This video was so beautiful. I really recognized my smallest little brother in it as he has got autism and he is also mentally handicapped. He can not speak and he needs help with most things that we normal people take for granted. Though we in the family understand him. Having a handicapped person in some way in your family make you stronger and you always have to be there for that person as he is so dependent on you.
