Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Eagle River, AK, who are facing catastrophic health challenges and the accompanying financial strain. Our mission is to provide essential financial assistance to families with children in crisis, offering help with utilities, housing, and grocery needs, as well as gas cards for crucial travel. To ensure a streamlined and confidential support process, applications are accepted exclusively from hospital staff working with the family, and it may take 2-3 weeks to process requests. We emphasize the importance of clear communication; therefore, we encourage hospital staff to follow up their submissions with an email to confirm receipt of the application. At Patches of Light, we prioritize the wellbeing of families in need, ensuring they receive the assistance necessary to navigate these challenging times with dignity and care.
