Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Skagway, AK, who are navigating the challenges of catastrophic health issues coupled with financial difficulties. We provide essential financial assistance for utilities, housing, gas, and grocery needs, working collaboratively with hospital staff to ensure the integrity of every application. Our process prioritizes confidentiality and compassion, allowing us to focus solely on the child's needs. Families seeking assistance must have their applications submitted through medical teams, which helps us verify the circumstances with sensitivity and care. While applications typically take 2-3 weeks for consideration, we encourage hospital staff to confirm receipt via email to streamline the processing of assistance requests. Patches of Light is here to shine a light on families during their darkest times, ensuring they have access to critical resources when they need them most.
