Gente Ayudando Gente

Ayuda (help) is a group that was created to help the Latino population across the United States. Latinos are the most vulnerable population in the U.S. affected by COVID 19. Many Latinos cannot work from home and many do not have health insurance to visit a doctor if they’re feeling sick. Founders, Jason Rubio and Diana Anzaldua, a husband and wife team, wanted to help and to change this.

Ayuda is a collaborative errand service where people can volunteer to help in many ways. People can sign up to be a driver with Ayuda, volunteer at one of our local “Ayudante” (helper) drives, donate masks, or simply make a donation.

During the pandemic, we’re helping drivers earn 100% of the fees (other companies charge up to 25% to use their app/service).

Even just donating $1 can really help our community!

Meet Jason and Diana

Both Jason and Diana are third generation Latinos. Their grandparents came to the US in hopes of a better life. Their grandparents and parents struggled with poverty due to the many issues that first and second generation families face.

Jason now holds a Master’s in Public Affairs and is a Master Teacher. He also is the founder and owner of Austin’s Best DJs & Photo Booths.
