Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to providing vital financial assistance to families in Fort Wayne, IN facing the overwhelming challenges of catastrophic health issues. We understand the urgent needs of these families, which is why our program offers support for essential expenses such as utilities, housing, gas cards, and grocery cards. To streamline our assistance process, applications are carefully reviewed and require submission from the child's medical team to ensure confidentiality and authenticity. Families are encouraged to have hospital staff submit requests, which typically take 2-3 weeks for consideration. To enhance communication, a follow-up email confirming the submission of each application helps us process requests more efficiently. At Patches of Light, we are committed to easing financial burdens during difficult times, so families can focus on what matters most—their child's health.
