Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is a compassionate support program based in Selawik, AK, dedicated to assisting families with children facing catastrophic health challenges and financial difficulties. We understand the burden that health crises can impose, and our mission is to alleviate some of that strain by providing critical assistance for utilities, housing, gas, and grocery needs. Our application process is designed for families to be guided by their child's medical team, ensuring a smooth and confidential experience. We prioritize the integrity of each application, and while families cannot apply directly, we encourage hospital staff to submit requests for aid, typically processed within 2-3 weeks. To streamline the process, we kindly ask that each application be confirmed via email, ensuring that we receive and can promptly address every request. At Patches of Light, we are here to provide practical and meaningful support during challenging times.
