Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Westlake, LA, who are navigating the challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial distress. Our mission focuses on providing essential financial assistance to those in need, including help with utility bills, housing support, gas cards, and grocery cards, all aimed at alleviating the burdens families face during difficult times. We engage directly with the child's medical team to ensure the legitimacy of each request while maintaining strict confidentiality. Applications are processed within 2-3 weeks and must be submitted by hospital staff, as families cannot apply directly. For a smoother application experience, we encourage verification via email to confirm receipt, helping us ensure prompt processing of assistance requests. At Patches of Light, we stand by our commitment to support families with care and respect, empowering them through challenging moments.
