Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Washington, IN, who are navigating the dual challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial hardship. Our mission is to provide essential financial assistance to families with children facing these difficult circumstances through various forms of aid, including assistance with utilities, housing, gas cards, and grocery cards. To ensure the integrity and confidentiality of each case, applications for help must be submitted by hospital staff working directly with the family and may take 2-3 weeks for consideration. We prioritize a streamlined process; therefore, we encourage applicants to confirm the submission of their requests via email, as this helps us efficiently manage and process applications while maintaining strict privacy protocols. Patches of Light stands as a compassionate resource during tough times, ensuring families receive the support they need when they need it most.
