Financial Assistance

Patches of Light, located in Madison, IN, is dedicated to supporting families with children who are facing catastrophic health challenges and financial struggles. Our mission is to provide crucial financial assistance for essential needs, including utility bills, housing costs, and transportation through gas cards, as well as grocery cards to help families put food on the table. We work closely with the child's medical team to ensure each request is valid and handled with the utmost confidentiality. Applications for assistance typically take 2-3 weeks to process, and we encourage hospital staff to submit on behalf of families, as direct applications from families cannot be accepted. To streamline the process and improve communication, we urge petitioners to confirm the arrival of their submissions via email. At Patches of Light, we strive to lighten the burdens of families during their most challenging times, providing practical support with compassion and care.
