Financial Assistance

Patches of Light in Chevak, AK, is dedicated to providing critical financial assistance to families with children experiencing catastrophic health issues. Our mission is to alleviate the burdens that accompany medical challenges, offering support for utilities, housing costs, gas cards, and grocery cards. Our assistance is initiated through the child's medical team, ensuring confidentiality and authenticity throughout the process. Given the sensitive nature of each case, we do not accept direct applications from families; instead, hospital staff must submit requests on their behalf. We strive to ensure every application is processed within 2-3 weeks, and we encourage petitioners to confirm the submission via email to facilitate timely handling of requests. At Patches of Light, we understand the urgent needs of families in crisis and are here to help lighten their load during difficult times.
