Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Girdwood, AK, whose children are facing catastrophic health challenges and financial difficulties. We understand the immense stress that medical crises can cause, and our mission is to provide essential financial assistance for utilities, housing, gas, and grocery needs. To ensure a streamlined process, our application is carefully managed through medical teams, requiring that requests come from hospital staff, which we keep entirely confidential. While applications typically take 2-3 weeks for consideration, we encourage families to confirm the arrival of their requests via email to promote timely processing. At Patches of Light, we are committed to bringing light to families during their most challenging times by providing practical support tailored to their urgent needs.
