Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Ellsworth, KS who are navigating the challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial struggles. Our mission is to provide crucial financial assistance that helps ease the burden of everyday expenses, allowing families to focus on what truly matters: their loved ones' health. We offer support for essential needs such as utilities, housing, as well as gas and grocery cards. To ensure confidentiality and authenticity, applications are processed through a child's medical team. While families cannot apply directly, hospital staff can submit applications that take 2-3 weeks for consideration. To enhance processing efficiency, we encourage a follow-up email to confirm application receipt, ensuring that no request goes unnoticed. Together, we strive to bring light to difficult times for families undergoing hardship.
