Financial Assistance

At Patches of Light, we are dedicated to providing compassionate and practical financial assistance to families in Broussard, LA, who are facing catastrophic health crises and financial challenges. Our program specifically supports families with children by offering help with essential needs such as utility payments, housing costs, grocery cards, and gas cards. Understanding the urgency of these situations, we work exclusively through the child's medical team to ensure confidentiality and verify the authenticity of each request. Applications for assistance typically take 2-3 weeks to process and must be submitted by hospital staff on behalf of the family. We encourage applicants to confirm the submission of their applications via email to facilitate timely processing. At Patches of Light, we strive to lighten the burden on families when they need it most, ensuring that they feel supported and cared for during their most challenging times.
