Ashley grew up on the streets, caught in a cycle of addiction and despair, never knowing what safety or love felt like. When she found out she was pregnant, something within her shifted. She knew she had to fight for a better life. At Coachella Valley Rescue Mission, Ashley found more than shelter—she found compassion, guidance, and the unwavering love of God. Today, she’s in college, raising her daughter, and walking boldly into a future filled with hope, healing, and purpose.

Being this is my 2nd time, in the mission. I think I have a good idea on what goes on. First, they have welcomed me with arms open both times. Put food in my stomach when I had none. Put clothes on my back, when I had none. Shoes on my feet, when I had none. And gave me friendship, when I had none. There is absolutely nothing wrong, negative or bad about this place. When it comes to the people inside, or the staff, I’ve seen them all drop what they are doing to help someone else.
The greatest Organization for moms. The people that work here have big heart s. So do the volunteers. When it comes to management you won’t find favoritism, discrimination, or a hypocrite. If help with addiction is what you need this is definitely a place that had resources. The website is SO informative. I’ve even seen the less unfortunate keep coming back. If you feel the need to donate or make a contribution this would be the worth it place.
This is my second time through the mission and it’s the same this time as it was the first time. The mission is and always will be a blessing to those who are receptive of the resources available. Staff genuinely cares about each individual persons well being. Personal experience has shown me that the people who have a problem are those who cannot follow rules or directions. There are rules, yes, but they are implemented to make things run smoothly for everyone. The mission has been here for me while trying to get my kids back into my custody. My case manager went to court with me and spoke on my behalf. I realize that my time is limited here, but this place will always have a special place in my heart.
