Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to providing critical financial assistance to families in Douglas, AK, who are grappling with catastrophic health challenges and financial difficulties. Our program focuses on delivering support that includes help with utility bills, housing costs, gas cards, and grocery cards to ensure families can meet their essential needs during tough times. We collaborate closely with medical teams to verify requests while maintaining strict confidentiality, as families are unable to apply directly. Applications for assistance are typically processed within 2-3 weeks, and we encourage hospital staff supporting the families to submit applications and confirm their submission via email, ensuring a smoother and more efficient process. At Patches of Light, we believe in being a guiding light for families in need, providing not just assistance, but also hope in their challenging journeys.
