Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Fort Wainwright, AK, who are facing the dual challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial strain. Our mission is to provide essential financial assistance to families with children in need, helping to cover critical expenses such as housing, utilities, and providing gas and grocery cards. We work directly with medical professionals to ensure confidentiality and verify the authenticity of each situation, keeping the application process streamlined and focused. Applications are processed within 2-3 weeks, and we ask that all submissions come through hospital staff to maintain privacy. We recommend sending a confirmation email upon application submission to ensure its timely processing, as we do not accept direct inquiries from families about the application status. At Patches of Light, we believe that even in the toughest times, families should receive the support they need to navigate their challenges.
