Coachella Valley Rescue Mission

Nina Scott

I’m a graduate of CVRM from 2013. I have 10 years clean now thanks to the time I spent here and what they helped teach me about having a relationship with God and loving myself as well as forgiving myself and others who have wronged me whether or not they deserve forgiveness so that I can heal. This may be lengthy but it’s worth it. I see people give negative reviews but they just don’t understand what this place has done for so many lives. People who give negative reviews I have found also give negative reviews on other sites and sound very entitled. Those people have very likely never struggled and hit their rock-bottom. It is usually the ones who hit their rock-bottom that are very grateful for a place like this that helps so many get their life together in their most desperate time of need. I was homeless living on the streets, addicted and could have been killed with the people I was hanging around and I would have continued that sick cycle had it not of been for this place helping get my head and my heart together. I basically just wanted to die at one point and was almost a feral human being it was sad. But today I’m married to the most caring amazing man of 9 wonderful years. We have our beautiful children. We own our home both have new cars. He’s a Foreman. I’m a stay at home mom but also work from home. This is the life I never thought I would have because I didn’t think someone like me was capable of being loved but CVRM taught me that I am worthy of being loved and that God loves me so much He went to the cross and died for me. I kept telling myself that everyday and after awhile it finally stuck with me, that I was worthy of love and then I met my wonderful husband at just the right time when I was taking a college class at COD. I waited patiently for my husband through my recovery because I knew that God had the perfect person for me and I couldn’t be more grateful to CVRM for helping me get my children back and helping to create my new family and healthier me ❤️ Thank you CVRM

OMG never again. I thought from the website that they did good work. The two drivers need reminding that DONATIONS ARE FREE, and the things he called junk came out of my living room. We had lamps and tables and chairs and appliances, we are down sizing and need to let go of items. Needless to say they arrived with a truck and proceeded to tell me that my belongings weren't good enough for them too sell. There were designer jeans and expensive small appliances. NEVER AGAIN, there are more respectful places that do good work - try angel view or revivals.

Not sure about the organization as a whole, but the two male drivers representing the company certainly need a reminder of the values of the organization and how to represent it professionally. After seeing their behavior, I would NEVER welcome them into my home and would be scared to leave my wife or kids alone with them around.
