Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is a dedicated organization located in Boaz, AL, committed to assisting families with children enduring catastrophic health challenges and financial difficulties. Our mission is to provide essential support, including help with utility bills, housing costs, gas cards, and grocery cards, ensuring that families can focus on what matters most—their child's health. To maintain confidentiality and streamline the assistance process, applications for support must be submitted by hospital staff involved in the child's care, and typically take 2-3 weeks to process. We encourage petitioners to confirm the submission of their applications via email, as this helps us efficiently manage requests and provide timely assistance. Patches of Light stands by families in their time of need, reinforcing our belief in caring for one another through life’s toughest moments.
