Lila's Bio:

Hi! My name is Lila and I am 14 years old. I am currently in 8th grade at an all-girls Catholic school. I am allergic to dairy and my older brother Nathan is allergic to dairy, eggs, wheat, peanuts, beef, and mustard. I love being a part of the FARE tag team and I hope that I will be able to help lots of people in my lifetime and right now. My hobbies include dancing, art, volleyball, and hanging out with my family and friends (including my two Shih Tzu puppies, Fluffy and Fuzzworth). I also love to cook and bake! One day I hope to have a career that helps/works with people and animals, as I love making new friends and helping those in need.
