Financial Assistance

Patches of Light provides crucial financial assistance to families in Opelousas, LA, whose children are battling catastrophic health challenges. Our mission is to alleviate the financial strain associated with medical crises by offering support for utility bills, housing costs, and essential needs like gas and grocery cards. To ensure a streamlined and confidential process, applications are accepted exclusively from medical personnel working directly with the affected family. Once submitted, applications typically take 2-3 weeks for consideration. We recommend that families have their medical teams confirm receipt of applications via email, enhancing communication and facilitating timely processing. At Patches of Light, we are committed to supporting families through these difficult times with compassion and care.
