Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Houma, LA, who are navigating the challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial distress. Our mission is to ease the burden of families with children facing severe health challenges by offering critical financial assistance, including utility payments, housing support, and grocery and gas cards. We recognize the urgency of these situations and work closely with hospital staff to ensure that assistance is tailored to those in need, maintaining strict confidentiality throughout the application process. Applications typically take 2-3 weeks for consideration, and it's important for hospital staff to submit applications on behalf of families. While we cannot engage in direct communication with applicants or family members, we encourage verification via email upon submission to confirm receipt and facilitate timely processing. Together, we strive to bring hope and relief during difficult times.
