Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to providing compassionate financial assistance to families in Edwardsville, IL, who are navigating catastrophic health challenges. Our mission is to alleviate the burden faced by these families by offering vital support for utilities, housing, gas, and grocery expenses. To ensure streamlined communication and confidentiality, applications for assistance must be submitted by hospital staff involved with the family, as families are unable to apply directly. We value the trust placed in us and work diligently to verify each request through medical teams, honoring the privacy of those we serve. For a smooth application process, we encourage a follow-up email to confirm that submissions have been received, allowing us to respond efficiently to urgent needs. Together, we strive to bring light and relief during challenging times.
