Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is devoted to supporting families in Bloomington, IN, who are dealing with catastrophic health challenges and the financial burdens that accompany them. We offer vital financial assistance services, including help with utilities, housing costs, and providing gas and grocery cards, ensuring that these families can focus on what truly matters—their children's health and well-being. Our compassionate approach requires that applications for aid be submitted by hospital staff, maintaining strict confidentiality and verification processes that respect the privacy of each family. While families cannot directly apply for assistance, we encourage clear communication from the medical team to confirm the submission of applications, which typically take 2-3 weeks for consideration. Through our dedicated efforts, we aim to alleviate some of the pressures faced by families during these challenging times, making a meaningful difference in their lives.
