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.

Wonderful wonderful video. My Neil is eleven and has Austism. He is the most endearing child. What a great tribute to all of us parents who struggle every day along with our Autistic children to cope and to try to enlighten those who know nothing of our world.

I have a daughter with Autism and this video along with the music was very moving and really makes it's point clear. Together hopefully we can find the missing puzzle pieces.

WOW!! This is the best video I have ever saw for Autism. I cried with the words that every mom wants to hear "I Love You" and the rest of the way through it as well. Thank you so much for doing this for our Autistic childred and Adults. My son who is 8 1/2 years old is very verbal but he lacks in sensory and social areas. He is the best thing that ever happend to me. I pray every day for a cure,or at least some sort of hope for every parent or Autistic person that the experts will find out what causes autism so our little ones and every new diagnosis of autism could be wiped out.My prayers are with all of you.

It's finally nice to watch a video where people enjoyed being with children on the spectrum!! It was nice to see the smiles, the diverse population, and the different abilities. I am a mother of 2 children on the spectrum, should there be a cure pill tomorrow, not sure if I would give it to them!!

Thank you. and thank you from my son, who though challenging much of the time, is a singular souce of inspiration and reminder of true innocence and sense of wonder. we are lucky that at 8, we are working on his looking in my eye while he says I love you. He can do one then the other.

Thank you for that video. I cried with the words that every mom wants to hear "I love you." I'm still waiting. My son is 7, a nonverbal autistic, beautiful boy.

OMG!!! this was such a wonderful video.. The part that says that 'every mom with an autistic child wants to hear then say "I love you"' has bought me to tears... MY daughter who is 11 and autistic is the best thing that ever happened to me.. Teaches me something new every day... I pary for that more than anything in the world.

THANK YOU. What a cascade of emotions. You have really captured the heart of every ASD parents wish. My sweet Rena teaches me everyday. I want a world with compassion and awareness for our children with autism. And I want to see autism, a subject taught in medical history, in our lifetime. My heart is bursting with gratitude to see the compassion for our kids in this video.

Thank you for raising awareness. Education=Knowledge and Knowledge=Power. I have a beautiful 9yo son with PDD-NOS and he teaches me something new every day. Life is not easy but no one ever said it would be. I love him with all my heart and hope that as he grows so will the understanding and empathy of the people around him.

Watching the video, reading the comments...WOW! Im in tears. Im a mother of a 8yr old w/ high functioning autism, but he lacks the ability to socialize with his peers in a normal setting with out prompts to what is acceptable. There were days that we just couldnt handle things, but with early intervention we have been able to work with this disorder. My husband and I love him dearly, and are happy with the progress he has made. I plead to every mom and dad out there, get the help provided by you local community, and be strong! We all have to come together and overcome this epidemic. All of these children are very special, and they all teach us how to understand things in a different light! Love to you all!!!
