Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to providing essential financial assistance to families with children grappling with catastrophic health issues in Yakutat, AK. Understanding the immense stress that comes with medical challenges, we offer support for utilities, housing, gas, and grocery expenses, ensuring families can focus on their children's health. Our application process, which is managed by the child's medical team for confidentiality and verification, typically takes 2-3 weeks to process. We encourage hospital staff to submit applications on behalf of families to streamline the process and maintain privacy. For clarity, we kindly ask the submitting staff to confirm via email that their application has been sent, as this helps us address any technology issues promptly and ensures that help reaches those in need as quickly as possible.
