"In Memory of" Donation

Desert Survivors has been a fixture of many people’s lives over our four decades of service. If you have lost someone and would like to have a memorial of them on our site, we can facilitate that process. First, register online for a reoccurring annual donation of at least $1,000. Next, provide a plaque or photograph of your loved one and we will install it in our permanent Memorial Garden at the back of the property. This calming space has been created for the specific purpose of providing a peaceful trail for contemplation. There is a short, circular path, perfect for soothing repetitive movement. Or you can relax on the natural seats, shaded by a long-established tree, to consider the natural beauty around you. Your loved one’s name and an optional photograph can be posted on this website page as well. If you require assistance in finding a marker for that special person, we can provide an engraved granite or brick plaque for an additional fee.

If you would like to make a donation in celebration of a loved one and reserve a space in our Memorial Garden as a memento of remembrance, please contact us to arrange a consultation.
