Financial Assistance

Patches of Light, located in Terre Haute, IN, is dedicated to supporting families with children who are dealing with catastrophic health challenges and financial difficulties. Our mission is to alleviate some of the burdens by providing essential financial assistance, including help with utility bills, housing costs, and essential resources like gas and grocery cards. We work closely with hospital staff who represent the families to ensure a smooth application process, which typically takes 2-3 weeks for consideration. We prioritize confidentiality and authenticity, so families cannot apply directly; instead, we rely on the child’s medical team for all submissions. We encourage a quick email confirmation to let us know an application has been submitted, helping us to process requests more efficiently and effectively. Together, we aim to create moments of light during challenging times for families in our community.
