Financial Assistance

Patches of Light, located in Granite City, IL, is dedicated to assisting families with children grappling with catastrophic health challenges and financial difficulties. We provide essential financial assistance for utilities, housing, gas, and grocery needs, ensuring that families can focus on their child’s recovery without the burden of everyday expenses. Our application process, designed for confidentiality and verification, requires submissions from the child's medical team, and typically takes 2-3 weeks for consideration. To ensure smooth communication, we kindly ask that hospital staff confirm the arrival of their applications via email, as this helps us address requests efficiently. At Patches of Light, we believe in providing compassionate support during the most challenging times, helping families navigate their journey with dignity and care.
