Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Saint Francisville, LA, who are navigating the dual challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial strain. Our mission is to provide essential financial assistance to families with children facing such hardships, covering vital needs like utility payments, housing support, gas cards, and grocery cards. We work closely with medical teams to ensure that each application is verified with strict confidentiality; as such, applications must be submitted by hospital staff rather than directly from families. The review process typically takes 2-3 weeks, and to facilitate timely assistance, we encourage hospital staff to confirm their submitted requests via email. By prioritizing the well-being of children and their families, we aim to alleviate some of the burdens they face during difficult times.
