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.

Brandon and Jeneil, So thankful for your friendship and support as we walk this walk with you. Our prayers and hope for healing and full recovery are with you and Rhema. This is a beautiful video. May our girls one day laugh over coffee together, and may Rhema's name and story be a testimony to the world. We love you guys. Carrie and Josh.

What a beautiful family! Hope is alive in Rhema's eyes--she has so much potential. The puzzle can be how to unleash all that potential--it is the same for all children, to one degree or another. Early Intervention services have greatly improved communication abilities for both of our grandsons that are on the spectrum. Autism Speaks & the Autism Society of America have been wonderful resources. So have the scriptures. "Behold, I say unto you that whoso believeth in Christ, doubting nothing, whatsoever he shall ask the Father in the name of Christ it shall be granted him; and this promise is unto all, even unto the ends of the earth." (Mormon 9:21) Proverbs 3:5-6 reads: Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and He shall direct thy paths." Perhaps Rhema's greatest asset is her natural ability to help others come unto Christ, and strengthen their faith in Him.

What a beautiful story. I have never seen so much display of Faith, there is no doubt in my mind that God's healing virtue will take place in this childs life, just continue to hold on to God's unchanging hands and pray without ceasing and see a miracle unfold, I know the God that we serve and he has never failed. God Bless you, we will be praying for you.

I came across your video on accindent and it melted my heart. To see your faith in God is so heart warming. God will reward you for your faithfulness. Just believe with all your heart and in HIS time she will be healed. Waiting for his time is hard but worth it. I will pray for Rhema and your family.

Janeil & Brandon:
I come in agreement for the continued healing of Rhema. She is truly a blessing and will be a strong testimony to many that God is able.
God Bless you all.

As I look over all of the wonderful words of encouragement that have been posted here I know that God is at work. I was blessed to see the word of God incorporated into this video. As this video goes out to be viewed by so many people, so does the word of God, so in that way, God is already using Rhema to bring forth the word of God! PRAISE GOD! I know He will continue to use Rhema to bring forth His word and His perfect Plan.

I pray that God continues to bless His wonderful creation! She is truly a gift from God and although you may not want to see her suffer as much as she is, God is doing it for a reason. God is not through with her yet. But when He is she will come out as pure GOLD! He will bless her indeed and know that the promises that God has for His child shall come to pass! He has plans to prosper her and not to harm her. So Mom and Dad be encouraged!! I pray for the strength of you both and the extended family as well. Be blessed and Rhema is in my prayers!

Your daughter is beautiful! I am also a mom of an autistic child and I know how precious those giggles are. We take nothing for granted. I am also an ABA therapist and I have seen kids come so far. Rhema will give you little miracles every day. God has given her to you because he believes that you are special people. Keep up the good work!
PS - Our son's video is here too....his name is Sean Patrick
