Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to providing essential financial assistance to families in Bethel, AK, who are navigating the challenges of catastrophic health issues. Our mission is to relieve some of the burdens these families face by offering support for utilities, housing, gas, and grocery needs, ensuring that their focus remains on healing and well-being. We work closely with medical teams to verify each situation confidentially, which helps maintain a supportive and respectful environment. To apply for assistance, hospital staff must submit requests on behalf of the family. While we understand the urgency of these situations, applications typically take 2-3 weeks for processing. To enhance communication and expedite the process, we kindly ask that a brief email is sent to confirm application submission, as this assists us in efficiently managing requests. Patches of Light stands firmly with these families during their times of need, fostering hope and support through our compassionate services.
