Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families with children who are facing severe health challenges and associated financial strain in Eight Mile, AL. Our mission is to ease the burden during these difficult times by offering essential financial assistance for utilities and housing, as well as providing gas and grocery cards to help families meet their daily needs. To ensure a streamlined process, applications for assistance must be submitted through the child’s medical team and typically take 2-3 weeks to review. We prioritize confidentiality and encourage families to communicate through the hospital staff, helping us maintain the privacy and integrity of each situation. To enhance the application process and reduce delays, we invite hospital staff to confirm the receipt of applications via email, ensuring that every request is processed smoothly and effectively, allowing families to focus on what matters most—their child's health and well-being.
