Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families with children who are enduring catastrophic health challenges and financial difficulties in Saint Marys, AK. Our mission is to provide essential financial assistance by helping with crucial expenses such as utility bills, housing costs, gasoline, and grocery needs. We work closely with medical teams to ensure that applications are processed efficiently and with the utmost confidentiality. Families do not apply directly but are supported through referrals from hospital staff. We kindly ask families to ensure that applications are submitted via their medical support and to confirm their receipt through a brief email, as this helps us manage the process more effectively. At Patches of Light, we understand the urgency of each situation, and we are here to lighten the load during challenging times.
