Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families with children facing catastrophic health challenges and financial difficulties in Fort Yukon, AK. Our mission is to provide crucial financial assistance for utility bills, housing, gas, and grocery needs, allowing families to focus on what truly matters—their child's health. By working closely with medical teams, we ensure that every application is handled with the utmost confidentiality and care. Families cannot apply directly; instead, hospital staff submit applications, which typically take 2-3 weeks for consideration. To streamline the process, we encourage petioners to send a confirming email upon application submission, ensuring we receive all requests promptly. At Patches of Light, we believe that no family should have to face these hardships alone, and we are here to help lighten the load during their most challenging times.
