Financial Assistance

Based in Manhattan, KS, Patches of Light is dedicated to providing compassionate financial assistance to families with children confronting catastrophic health challenges. Understanding the unique stressors these families face, we offer essential support including help with utilities, housing payments, gas cards, and grocery cards. Our application process is streamlined and takes 2-3 weeks for consideration, ensuring that all requests come through medical professionals involved in the child's care to maintain confidentiality and ensure authenticity. We encourage hospital staff to follow up with a brief email confirming the application’s receipt, as this enables us to assist families more efficiently. Patches of Light is committed to easing the financial burden for those in dire circumstances, helping them focus on what truly matters—their child's health and well-being.
