Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Gulf Shores, AL, who are navigating the difficult intersection of catastrophic health issues and financial challenges. Our mission focuses on providing essential financial assistance for utility bills, housing, and everyday necessities such as gas and grocery cards. Our careful application process, which is initiated by a child's medical team, ensures confidentiality and a swift review period of 2-3 weeks. We prioritize the privacy of families in need and do not engage directly with applicants regarding the status of assistance, allowing us to concentrate on delivering help efficiently. To streamline the application process, we encourage families to have their medical team email us to confirm the submission of their support requests, ensuring that all applications are processed without delay. Together, we create a support network that enables families to concentrate on healing and overcoming life's challenges.
