Financial Assistance

Patches of Light, located in Marksville, LA, is dedicated to supporting families with children who are grappling with catastrophic health challenges and financial struggles. Our mission is to alleviate some of the burdens on these families by providing essential financial assistance for utilities, housing, gas, and groceries. We collaborate closely with the child's medical team to ensure confidentiality and verify the legitimacy of each request, as applications must be submitted by hospital staff. While we understand the urgency of these situations, please note that families are unable to apply directly and should refrain from contacting us about application status to maintain privacy. To facilitate a smooth application process, we encourage hospital staff to follow up with a confirming email once an application has been sent, ensuring that we can address requests promptly and effectively.
