Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Franklin, IN, who are navigating the overwhelming challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial hardship. Our mission is to alleviate some of the stress these families face by providing critical financial assistance, including support for utilities, housing costs, gas cards, and grocery cards. We work closely with the child’s medical team to ensure the authenticity and confidentiality of each request while allowing for essential assistance. Applications are processed within 2-3 weeks and must be submitted by hospital staff, ensuring that we can serve families effectively and compassionately. To facilitate a smooth application process, we recommend that applicants or their families send a confirmation email to verify their application has been received, helping us address any potential technological issues promptly. At Patches of Light, we are committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of families during their most challenging times.
