Financial Assistance

Patches of Light provides compassionate financial assistance to families in Freeport, IL, facing the dual challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial strain. Our program offers essential support by helping with utilities, housing costs, gas cards, and grocery cards. To ensure the integrity and confidentiality of each case, applications can only be submitted by hospital staff on behalf of the family, and processing typically takes 2-3 weeks. We kindly ask that petitioners follow up with an email to confirm the receipt of their application, as this helps us efficiently manage requests and respond in a timely manner. At Patches of Light, we are dedicated to easing the burdens of families during their most challenging moments.
