Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to providing essential financial assistance to families in Trapper Creek, AK, who have children facing catastrophic health challenges. We understand that navigating such hardships can be overwhelming, which is why our program offers support for utilities, housing, gas cards, and grocery cards to alleviate some of the financial burdens. Assistance requests must come through hospital staff working directly with the family, ensuring confidentiality and the utmost care in handling each situation. While the process typically takes 2-3 weeks, this collaboration helps us verify the need while maintaining privacy. We encourage hospital staff to confirm application submissions via email, as this helps us ensure timely processing and provides peace of mind during an uncertain time. At Patches of Light, we are committed to being a source of hope and support for these families in need, helping them navigate through the toughest of times.
