Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Ponchatoula, LA, who are navigating the challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial distress. Our mission is to provide critical financial assistance through programs that help cover essential expenses such as utilities and housing. Additionally, we offer gas and grocery cards to alleviate some of the economic burdens these families face. To maintain confidentiality and ensure a streamlined process, applications can only be initiated by hospital staff working with the family. We process applications within 2-3 weeks, and we encourage an email confirmation of submission to help us track requests more efficiently. At Patches of Light, we are committed to providing timely and compassionate support during these difficult times.
