“The staff was so caring and willing to go above and beyond and Susy made us feel like our team was part of the process from day one. Our parents shared how impressed they were and having Argelia join us was stellar.
Just keep doing the work from a place of the heart and in service to others and hopefully your model will grow other organizations and instill in our communities the volunteerism that we know can transform us all.”

“Vamonos USA has been a great support to us in various events. One such event was held at Maclay Middle School where we distributed groceries and gift cards to families for their Thanksgiving meal. The families were extremely grateful to Vamonos for providing them with a wonderful meal for their loved ones. During every event, families have been impressed when they learn about the Vamonos app and the resources available in the community.”

“Beyond the practical benefits, your donation has also sent a powerful message to our students and their families. It has shown them that there are caring individuals like you who believe in their education and well-being. We are truly grateful for your compassion and generosity.
Vamonos USA was hands-on throughout the entire process! Susana's passion for this work is clearly evident. Even in the final hours, she was still making moves to secure more school supplies for additional backpacks. She also made great effort to connect families with the Vamonos App for future access to resources and information. We greatly appreciate Vamonos USA for providing support to needy families in our school community and cannot thank you enough.”

"Supervisor Solis asked that I introduce you to her communications team included in this email.
Susana is the founder of VamonosUSA. Vamonos is a free bilingual app that connects communities to resources and free events. After speaking to other moms and nannies, Susana realized, families, specifically Spanish speaking, lacked information to nearby quality of events so she decided to develop an app that would provide a source for real time connectivity. The app allows users to identify events based on selected criteria and location. Argelia Atilano is their spokesperson.
I invited Susana to provide an information booth at Eastman Elementary’s Dia del Nino celebration on April 29th and suggested to provide a booth at other family events. We will continue to invite them to future SD1 hosted events. I also added Susana to our E-Blast list to receive resources and event information to share in their app.

"Please meet Argelia and her business partner Susy. You may know Argelia from her 20 year history with KLOVE as the co-host of the Omar y Argelia Show. I met with her and Susy last week and learned about her amazing new venture, the Vamonos App.
The goal of Vamonos is to connect families, primarily Spanish-speaking households, with meaningful local experiences that are free and family-friendly. Think of Eventbrite but in my opinion, much more user-friendly and with quality events that are all free to the public. They are interested in working with the Mayor's office to integrate city-sponsored events on their app and also looking for grant opportunities to maintain the app."

"I was thrilled to partner with
VamonosUSA, an organization co-founded by radio host Argelia Atilano and community organizer Susana Garcia Alvarez. Before the new school year, we distributed over 250 free backpacks filled with school supplies to students and families. It was a pleasure partnering with these two inspiring women to support the community. Check out their app to discover FREE family events across LA county at vamonosusa.com."
