Financial Assistance

Patches of Light in Mansfield, LA, is dedicated to supporting families with children who are navigating catastrophic health issues and facing financial challenges. Our mission is to alleviate some of the burdens these families experience by providing essential financial assistance for utilities, housing, and transportation, as well as grocery cards to help meet their immediate needs. We operate through a collaborative approach, working closely with the child's medical team to ensure privacy and authenticity throughout the application process. To apply for assistance, families should have their medical team submit requests on their behalf, as direct applications from families are not permitted. Once submitted, applications typically take 2-3 weeks for consideration; we encourage follow-up via email to confirm receipt, ensuring a smoother processing experience. At Patches of Light, we understand the urgency of these situations and are committed to providing compassionate support to families in need.
