Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Monroe, LA, who are grappling with catastrophic health challenges and financial difficulties. Our mission is to provide essential financial assistance for utilities, housing, gas, and grocery needs, ensuring that families can focus on healing without the constant worry of day-to-day expenses. We work closely with medical professionals to maintain confidentiality and authenticity in our assistance applications, which generally take 2-3 weeks to process. It is important that applications be submitted by hospital staff on behalf of the families, as direct inquiries from applicants cannot be accommodated. To streamline our process, we encourage a confirming email upon application submission, which helps us promptly address the requests for support. At Patches of Light, we believe in extending a helping hand to those in need during their most challenging times.
