Financial Assistance

Patches of Light in New Albany, IN, is dedicated to supporting families with children who are navigating the challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial hardship. Our mission is to provide essential financial assistance to alleviate some of the burdens these families face. We offer help with utilities, housing expenses, gas cards, and grocery cards to ease their financial stress. Applications for assistance must be submitted by hospital staff and typically take 2-3 weeks to process. While we strive to maintain strict confidentiality, it is vital that applicants have their medical teams verify their needs, as we cannot accept direct inquiries from families regarding their applications. For a smoother process, we encourage confirmation emails to ensure applications are received and handled promptly. At Patches of Light, we are committed to offering compassionate support during these challenging times and helping families focus on what truly matters: the health and well-being of their children.
