Financial Assistance

Patches of Light in Joliet, IL, is dedicated to assisting families with children who are facing catastrophic health challenges and financial difficulties. Our mission is to provide essential financial assistance tailored to support these families during their toughest times. We help cover vital expenses such as utilities and housing costs and offer gas and grocery cards to ease some of the burdens they face. To maintain confidentiality and streamline the application process, we require that applications be submitted exclusively by hospital staff working directly with the family. This ensures that each case is handled with care and authenticity, allowing us to focus on what matters most: helping those in need. Families should confirm the submission of their applications through email to guarantee their timely processing, as we cannot engage in direct communication regarding applications or outcomes. Together, we strive to bring light during challenging moments for those we serve.
