Financial Assistance

Patches of Light in Kenner, LA, is dedicated to supporting families with children facing catastrophic health challenges and financial difficulties. Our mission is to alleviate the burden during these tough times by providing essential financial assistance, including help with utility payments, housing costs, gas cards, and grocery cards. Applications for assistance are processed through the child's medical team to ensure authenticity and maintain strict confidentiality, and while families cannot apply directly, we encourage hospital staff to facilitate this process. We strive to handle applications efficiently, typically taking 2-3 weeks for consideration, and we recommend sending a follow-up email to confirm application receipt, enhancing our ability to serve those in need promptly. At Patches of Light, we are here to lighten the load for struggling families, ensuring they receive the support they need when it matters most.
