About me
Hello! My name is Elizabeth Bakeis. I am seventeen years old and I live in Los Gatos, California. I am a senior at Notre Dame High School in San Jose. I live with my Mom, my two older brothers, Ben and Alex, and my two dogs, Peyton and Teddy. I enjoy hiking, building things, reading, watching basketball and football, and tutoring. After seeing the impact of the pandemic on impoverished families in the Bay Area, I was driven to start this fundraiser with the goal of bringing food to families during these demanding times. Through this fundraiser, I hope to become closer with members of my local community by uniting for the central cause of bringing joy to those who need it most in the San Francisco-Marin area.
