Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Gary, IN, who are navigating the challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial strain. Our mission is to provide practical assistance in critical times by helping with utility bills, housing costs, and offering gas and grocery cards to ease daily burdens. To ensure we can uphold the dignity and confidentiality of families, all applications must be submitted through medical staff involved in the child's care; families cannot apply directly. We prioritize verification through the medical team while maintaining strict confidentiality, and, to streamline our application process, we kindly ask that each submission be confirmed via email to prevent potential miscommunication. Together, we strive to bring light into the lives of those facing difficult circumstances.
