Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to providing financial assistance to families in Barrow, AK, who are navigating the challenges of catastrophic health issues. We understand the stress that financial hardship can bring, especially for families with children facing serious medical conditions. Our program offers critical support through utility assistance, housing help, gas cards, and grocery cards. To ensure confidentiality and integrity, all applications must be submitted by hospital staff working closely with the family, as we prioritize verification while maintaining the privacy of those we serve. We encourage timely communication through email to confirm receipt of applications, which helps us process assistance requests more efficiently. Together, we are committed to lightening the burden for families in our community during these difficult times.
