Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Gambell, AK, who are navigating the challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial strain. We understand the urgent needs of families during these difficult times, and our program provides essential financial assistance for utilities, housing support, gas and grocery cards to ease their burdens. To maintain confidentiality and ensure assistance is directed appropriately, applications must be submitted by hospital staff working with the family, and processing typically takes 2-3 weeks. We encourage hospital representatives to send a brief confirmation email upon submission to help us track applications and expedite our assistance. At Patches of Light, we strive to illuminate the path for families in need, offering a helping hand during life's toughest moments.
