They never answer the phones, they don't offer help legally or otherwise. Sure they can find you a shelter but that's it. How does that help again? Where's the advocates to be there for support? Where is the advocates helping you file restraining orders? Helping you get out and on your feet? I haven't found them, legal aid does NOT go with you to court anymore ... they will only help you file paperwork for a divorce, but it has to be simple, the 15 min speak with a lawyer is absolutely nothing, they say if you pay 35$ you can get a lawyer, wrong! You pay to get a referral to a lawyer, and no, that lawyer is not free. With all the donations this shelter gets, you would think they would have better resources to help the victims, and survivors of domestic violence abuse. So hey, just keep building those pretty buildings... This is my opinion, my personal experience with this company, that I wanted to share with you. Stay safe out there, always remember you are beautiful, you are smart, and you are loved!

I relieved myself in plastic bags that I found in the room. I was physically and psychologically abused time and time again from a monster of a husband. With his drinking and drugs he injured himself, he called the police to get help and the police thought I injured him. (I could not I was locked in a room) I was arrested on domestic violence charges. Once at the jail I was molested by the jail guards and the other guards stood and watched. Now I am a victim again. By the way the district attorney dismissed the charges as I did nothing to injure the monster of a husband. Now I am homeless and have nothing so I called Shelter from the Storm and they refused to assist me because they think I am a violent person due to my arrest record. I called other shelters and was told the same, due to my arrest record I can not get help. The charges were dropped. I was violated in jail and was a victim twice and this agency get funds but turns away the ones the need help the most. Shame on you!! As a woman somehow I will make it back from this nightmare; but as for funding this agency I would never recommend it.....................

It's a shame I no longer will shop at that location!

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience with this program was disappointing enough that…read moreI feel compelled to share it. In my experience, there was a noticeable culture of favoritism, and it often felt as though families who were not part of the preferred group were treated differently. That is not the standard of professionalism or inclusivity any parent should expect from a childcare program. What ultimately led us to leave was a serious lapse in basic care. My toddler came home wearing a diaper so oversized that it had leaked through his clothing. For a facility entrusted with the well-being of young children, this level of inattentiveness is unacceptable. The most frustrating part is that this program has potential, but potential means very little when leadership fails to address ongoing concerns and staff fail to provide consistent, quality care. Parents place a tremendous amount of trust in childcare providers, and unfortunately, this program did not earn or keep ours. We withdrew our child immediately and have never regretted that decision.

I took care of the roof over my head but disregarded all that natural beauty that extended beyond property lines. This all changed when I took a natural resources class at College Of The Desert taught by professor Kurt Leuschner. I realized just how delicate the very ground I stood on was. This is where I also learned about Friends Of The Desert Mountains. Friends Of The Desert Mountains is a nonprofit organization that focuses on the conservation of land resources in the Coachella Valley. Some of their programs are trail stewardship, invasive weed control, interpretive hikes, trash cleanup and youth education. You can volunteer your time and experience a greater sense of pride and accomplishment in being a resident of the Coachella Valley. Worthwhile work, considering Friends Of The Desert Mountains has successfully protected over 50,000 acres of land since 1987, my backyard included.

We are the one-stop-shop to all veteran-related needs. With us, veterans may receive help with housing, credit repair, mental health assistance and obtaining emotional support pets. And that's just the top of the list. Our goals and provisions are dedicated to veterans and their immediate family members. We are one of the very few foundations that are willing to help out veterans who have a dishonorable discharge, (some conditions do apply), and also raise awareness of available opportunities to them while providing additional services of our own at the same time.

To Whom It May Concern,…read more I am writing to express my disappointment regarding a recent adoption application with California Paws Rescue. I contacted your organization hoping to find a companion for my 10-year-old female Bull Terrier, who recently lost her long-time companion. I explained that she is a typical Bull Terrier--stubborn and a bit hard-headed--and would likely thrive with an older, less domineering male dog. Given my extensive background as a dog handler and small business dog trainer, I provided a comprehensive adoption application, including a direct contact for my local veterinarian, who can attest to my dog's health and happy demeanor. I also offered to provide contact information for previous clients. As part of your process, a video call was scheduled to show the dog's sleeping area and surroundings. While I offered to film the exterior yard, including the block wall and fence, and noted that my house is visible on Google Earth, I declined to film the interior of my home for personal security reasons. Subsequently, my application was denied due to my refusal to film the interior. While I respect the need to follow established procedures, I believe that given my qualifications, the references I provided, and my veterinarian's willingness to be contacted, my dog and I should have at least been offered a face-to-face meeting to demonstrate a suitable environment. It appears that your adoption rates are so high that individual cases, even those with comprehensive supporting information, do not warrant further consideration.

Opened in Fall 2021, Elder Love is a little hole in the wall with super friendly staff, an awesome playlist, and (as it's street name would suggest) an eclectic mix of vintage and current brands. The assortment of clothes was small as of November 2021. But it was a nice mix of vintage designer and cool trendy styles, for both men and women. For such a small space, it also packs in a wonderful assortment of pictures and artwork, furniture, and dish-ware. It's location is also ideal for a multi-store trip. You can hit Elder Love, Collector's Corner, Goodwill, and the ACS Discovery Store in rapid succession since they are all 5 mins away or less from each other. Flash 50% sales in Mondays. And they also serve sparkling wine on Fridays so, plan accordingly. :-) Store is open daily 10 AM to 5 PM. Phone 442-274-2191. You can also DM them on Facebook to check on holiday schedules.
