Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Fort Payne, AL, with children facing severe health challenges and financial difficulties. Our mission is to provide essential financial assistance, helping with utility bills, housing costs, and offering gas and grocery cards to ease the burden during tough times. We prioritize confidentiality and work exclusively through the child's medical team to verify applications, ensuring a respectful and sensitive approach to each family's situation. To apply, hospital staff must submit requests on behalf of families, and the review process typically takes 2-3 weeks. To enhance our efficiency, we encourage confirmation via email once an application is submitted, as this helps ensure timely processing. We believe in shining a light of hope and support for families navigating these challenging circumstances.
