Financial Assistance

Patches of Light, located in Decatur, IN, is dedicated to supporting families with children who are battling catastrophic health issues alongside financial challenges. Our mission is to provide essential financial assistance that includes help with utility bills, housing costs, gas cards, and grocery cards. Applications are processed confidentially through hospital staff, ensuring the privacy and sensitivity of each family's situation. Please note that the application process takes approximately 2-3 weeks, and families are kindly asked not to apply directly; instead, hospital personnel will facilitate the request. We encourage applicants to follow up with a quick email to confirm receipt of their application, as this helps us address any potential technical issues and expedites the assistance process. At Patches of Light, we are committed to bringing comfort and relief to families in need during their most difficult times.
