Financial Assistance

Patches of Light in Collinsville, IL, is dedicated to providing crucial financial assistance to families with children facing serious health challenges and financial strain. Our program specializes in helping cover essential needs such as utility bills, housing costs, as well as providing gas and grocery cards to ensure families can focus on their child's health rather than financial burdens. To maintain confidentiality and ensure accountability, all applications must be submitted by hospital staff working closely with the family. Please note that families cannot apply directly and all communication must go through the child’s medical team. We understand the urgency of these situations and encourage confirming application submissions via email, ensuring a smoother and more efficient assistance process for those in need.
