Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Charlestown, IN, who are navigating the challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial distress, particularly those with children facing these hardships. Our mission focuses on alleviating some of the financial burdens through targeted assistance for utilities, housing costs, and essential needs such as gas and grocery cards. To maintain confidentiality and integrity, applications for support must be submitted by hospital staff familiar with the family's situation, and we kindly ask families not to initiate contact regarding their applications. Processing typically takes 2-3 weeks, and we encourage hospital staff to confirm the submission of applications via email to ensure they are received and handled promptly. Together, we strive to provide compassionate, effective support to these families during their times of need.
