Maelezo ya Shindano

My youngest daughter suffers from a rare genetic disorder called Rett Syndrome. She's unable to speak, walk or use her hands. Long story short, my daughter has grown to absolutely love the song "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran. Literally she can be crying, screaming having an absolute breakdown and the second the song comes on she's instantly happy. My wife and I have recorded several clips of her hearing and reacting to the song, and would love to have a professional compile these clips into a compelling, professional looking video we can upload and share. We want the video to include some information about Rett Syndrome, and info for the Rett Syndrome Research Trust along with info regarding how to make a donation (rsrt.org).

I'm not really concerned that the video will be using a commercial song, we're not looking to make any money off of hits. Just want to get our message out.

We really want to highlight the effect the song has on her, so I would like the music to not really kick in until midway through the video. Maybe we could have stock background music along with the yelling and crying from each video, then when the music kicks on and she's reacting and getting happy. So kind of splicing the beginning of each video where she's frustrated, then the music comes on and the switch gets flipped.

***EDIT***
What I'm really wanting to highlight with the video isn't so much raising awareness of Rett, or showing my daughter cry a lot...I'm hoping to show how the song itself instantly calms her down and makes her happy. I want to include Rett info just so it also educates, but I want to highlight that the song starting and playing is sometimes the only thing that calms her down. I want to highlight how much she loves the song.

I would also like the video to include the following little bio about my daughter mixed through the video to kind of help tell the story the images/sound is telling:

"Gia is 3 years old. In early 2016 Gia was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder called Rett Syndrome.

Imagine the symptoms of autism, cerebral palsy, Parkinson's, epilepsy and anxiety disorder - all combined in one little girl. That is Rett Syndrome.

Gia is the strongest person I know. She kicks major butt at both school and all of her therapy sessions, but sometimes even she has bad days. Being unable to communicate can be incredibly frustrating, and it is not uncommon for Gia to get in angry moods where she cries and yells - unable to tell anyone what she's really feeling inside. Several months ago while sharing some of my favorite music with her, I discovered that Gia is absolutely in love with Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud". At even her darkest moments, if she hears that song it instantly puts a joyous smile on her face, all pain and frustration melts away, and I'm left with the sweetest eyes sparkling back at me. This song has pushed her through many difficult hours of physical therapy, has soothed her through numerous difficult days, and brings her so much happiness I could never put into words how much we owe to this song.

Mr. Sheeran - Thank You from the bottom of our hearts.
