Financial Assistance

Patches of Light, located in Abbeville, LA, is dedicated to supporting families with children who are facing catastrophic health issues along with financial hardships. Our mission is to provide essential financial assistance for utilities, housing, and essential needs like gas and grocery cards to help alleviate some of the burdens during challenging times. The application process, handled through the child’s medical team, ensures confidentiality and authenticity, requiring a timeline of 2-3 weeks for consideration. We encourage hospital staff to submit applications, as families cannot apply directly for assistance. To enhance the efficiency of our services, we recommend following up with a quick email to confirm application receipt, as this helps us maintain communication and process requests promptly. We are committed to bringing comfort and relief to families in need during their most difficult moments.
