Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Wrangell, AK, who are facing the profound challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial strain. Our mission is to alleviate some of the burden by providing essential financial assistance for utilities, housing, gas, and groceries. We work closely with children's medical teams to ensure that each family's situation is handled with the utmost confidentiality and compassion. Applications for assistance typically take 2-3 weeks to process and must be submitted by hospital staff on behalf of the family, as direct contact from applicants is not permitted to preserve privacy. Families are encouraged to confirm the submission of their applications via email, as this helps us track and expedite the review process. Through our dedicated approach, Patches of Light aims to bring hope and relief to those in dire need.
