Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Livingston, LA, who are navigating the challenges of catastrophic health issues and the financial burdens that accompany them. Through our program, we provide essential financial assistance such as help with utility bills, housing support, gas cards, and grocery cards, all to ease the strain on families during difficult times. To maintain our commitment to confidentiality and ensure the integrity of the assistance process, families must have their applications submitted by a hospital staff member involved in their care. While applications typically take 2-3 weeks to process, it greatly assists us if submitters confirm via email that their request has been sent; this helps ensure we receive all necessary documents promptly. Patches of Light is here to serve, providing compassionate and practical aid to those who need it most.
