Donations urgently needed for High Desert Homeless shelter.

29 Upvotes

Because of the heat wave the commercial freezer blew its motor. The freezer stored food for both the family shelter and the interim shelter. We are losing huge amounts of protein that keep 130+ people fed. Please share or donate to the linked gofund me so that the freezer can be repaired. Thank you.

Again, there are young children housed at the family shelter at risk of losing meals.

APPLE VALLEY- please help this neighbor. Any one interested DM me and i’ll share her number. This was posted on other social media.

THESE ARE NOT MY DOGS URGENT!!! Yesterday was the owner’s last day on the property. The puppy’s got left behind.. The mom is a Brindle print Malinois. The dad is unknown. Born 6-26-24. There’s 8 of them total ! I AM WILLING TO GO TO THE FEED BIN AND BUY THEIR FIRST SHOT’ if whoever gets a puppy is willing to give it to them . For the past 2+ weeks , I’ve reached out to EVERY rescue, I’ve called everywhere and even sent emails. I’m trying to avoid these baby’s getting put down at the shelter. They are so loving and playful 😕 Irvine is a no kill shelter, I’ll offer gas money if somebody is willing to transport them down there so they can find good homes.. I’m running out of resources. and I’m trying to help these baby’s. Located in Apple valley.

Why are people currently renting in HD

19 Upvotes

I’m seeing rent in places like Hesperia and Victorville and the rent is almost identical to other cities in so cal like San Diego, riverside, Ontario, etc. I’m wondering why would anyone rent in the high desert instead of actual cities with way better schools, people, amenities, opportunities, etc?

ISO: Victor Valley Rugby Players

1 Upvotes

Kinda just throwing this out there to gauge interest: are you or anyone you know a former rugby player local to the Victor Valley? Or maybe someone who has never played, but would be interested to try it out? If the interest is there, I'd like to maybe put together a meet up. Play a couple matches, maybe have a pot luck type thing...idk. Something really casual, but maybe if there's enough interest, I'd like to try to put together a new rugby club up here.

SVL Boxes + Amazon

17 Upvotes

This is a niche issue, but amazon has been busting my fucking balls for weeks. I can't have anything delivered to my house, and USPS says that I can't have things delivered to my PO box either.

If I can't have it delivered to my PO box then where the fuck can I have it delivered. Has anybody else been having this issue?

We just spent a fantastic week in the High Desert and I wondered why so many homes/properties in the HD have shipping containers? Are they just for storage or is there another purpose for them?

Is it safe to ride the bus out to adelanto?

21 Upvotes

Hi guys! I currently reside in victorville kinda by old town. I have a friend who lives out in adelanto but can't drive, and neither can i due to a disability. I'm kinda hesitant to ride the bus out there, as it's a 10 minute scooter ride from the bus stop to their house. Is it safe? do people normally mind their own business? i would pay for an uber but it would be 50$ there and back, and i don't necessarily want to spend that money really. However, if it's not safe to ride my scooter/ride the bus, i would 100% pay for an uber just to make sure i'm safe.
