Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Salem, IN, who are navigating the dual challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial strain. Our mission is to provide essential financial assistance, including help with utilities, housing costs, and support through gas and grocery cards. We prioritize a compassionate approach that respects the privacy of the families we serve, requiring that all applications be submitted through hospital staff familiar with the child's situation. This ensures confidentiality while allowing us to focus on those in most urgent need. We understand that the application process can feel daunting, which is why we encourage hospital staff to send a confirming email upon submission to help us track and expedite assistance requests. Our aim is to bring light and relief to families during their toughest times.
