Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Wasilla, Alaska, who are caring for children facing serious health challenges and financial difficulties. Our mission is to alleviate stress by offering vital financial assistance that includes help with utility bills, housing expenses, gas cards, and grocery cards. To ensure the integrity and confidentiality of each case, applications must be submitted by hospital staff involved with the family, and families themselves cannot apply directly. Our application review process typically takes 2-3 weeks, and we encourage a follow-up email to confirm receipt of the application, which helps us process requests efficiently. By working closely with medical teams, Patches of Light strives to provide compassionate support during these critical times, making it easier for families to focus on what truly matters—their child's health and wellbeing.
