Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Metlakatla, AK, who are facing catastrophic health challenges and significant financial difficulties. We provide essential financial assistance such as help with utilities, housing support, gas cards, and grocery cards, ensuring that families can focus on their child’s health without the added burden of economic stress. Our application process, which typically takes 2-3 weeks, is designed to work closely with hospital staff to maintain confidentiality and verify the authenticity of each request. We kindly ask that applications be submitted by the child’s medical team, as families are unable to apply directly. To ensure timely processing, we encourage the submission of a confirmation email upon application to help us track and facilitate support efficiently. At Patches of Light, we are committed to offering compassionate assistance during the most challenging times.
