Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Donaldsonville, LA, who are navigating the challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial hardship. Our mission is to provide essential financial assistance for utilities, housing, gas, and groceries, ensuring that families can focus on their children's health without the burden of financial strain. We work closely with the child’s medical team to ensure every application is verified and treated with the utmost confidentiality, as the process does not allow families to apply directly. Applications typically take 2-3 weeks for consideration and must be submitted through hospital staff. To enhance communication and efficiency, we recommend families send a confirming email upon application submission, helping us to track and process requests promptly. At Patches of Light, we believe that every child deserves a chance to thrive, and we are here to help families during their most difficult times.
