Talking with Thalia: A Lifeline for Domestic Violence Survivors

Domestic violence often leaves survivors—women, men, and children—terrified, isolated, and unsure of where to turn. In the Coachella Valley, Shelter From The Storm provides safety, healing, and hope. Executive Director Angelina Coe explains how the nonprofit supports survivors through confidential housing, counseling, and essential services, helping them rebuild their lives and achieve independence. With only 20 beds in a safe, home environment, the shelter depends heavily on community donations and support. Available 24/7, their bilingual hotline connects survivors directly to help and resources, offering a chance to break free from abuse and find a new path forward. If you live in the Coachella Valley, and suspect you are a victim, please call Shelter From The Storm's confidential hotline (760) 328-7233.
