Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to providing essential financial assistance to families in Cottondale, AL, who are navigating the dual challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial strain. Our program offers vital support in the form of utility payments, housing aid, gas cards, and grocery cards, helping to alleviate immediate burdens and restore stability. To ensure a streamlined and confidential process, applications can only be submitted by hospital staff involved with the family, and typically take 2-3 weeks for consideration. We emphasize the importance of maintaining confidentiality and therefore limit direct contact from applicants regarding their requests. We kindly ask that families follow up their applications with a confirming email to ensure their submission has been received, allowing us to better serve those in need with compassion and efficiency.
