Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Portage, IN, navigating financial hardships due to catastrophic health issues affecting their children. We provide crucial assistance with utility bills, housing needs, gas cards, and grocery cards, aiming to alleviate some of the stress these families face during challenging times. Applications are processed through the child's medical team to ensure privacy and integrity, typically taking 2-3 weeks to review. We request that families work with hospital staff to submit applications, as direct communication from applicants regarding their applications cannot be accommodated. Your patience and cooperation in confirming application receipt via email will help us serve you better by ensuring that we can process your request expediently and efficiently.
