The importance and necessity of having a voice is not lost on Archbald’s Hannah Danielowski, 16, and Clarks Summit’s Marina Rinkunas, 17.
They understand that many foster children are attempting to navigate their situations without anyone to speak up for them.
“I’ve gone through my moments of feeling like I have no voice and just those little moments are terrible,” Marina said. “I can’t even begin to imagine the pain of those who deal with it every day.”
By lending their voices to NEPA Sings, our amazingly talented singers are showing people why we need CASA in our community.
“Being a part of this event is such an honor knowing that it’s helping to give children a voice,” Hannah said.
Both Hannah and Marina share a love of musical theatre and have found their homes on the stage. Marina, who came in second place at last year’s NEPA Sings, is going to perform “Breathe” from Lin-Manuel Miranda’s In the Heights. Hannah will perform “Monster” from Disney’s Frozen musical.
