Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Seward, AK, who are navigating the challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial distress. Our program offers vital financial assistance to help cover essential needs, including utilities, housing, gas cards, and grocery cards, ensuring families can focus on what truly matters—the health and well-being of their children. To maintain confidentiality and ensure a smooth process, applications must be submitted by hospital staff working with the family and can take 2-3 weeks for consideration. We understand that timely communication is crucial, so we encourage confirmation emails upon submitting requests to avoid any delays in support. At Patches of Light, we are committed to providing care and assistance, working closely with medical teams to verify each situation while respecting the privacy of those we serve.
