Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Westwego, LA, who are facing the dual challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial strain. Our mission focuses on providing essential financial assistance that helps cover utilities, housing, gas, and grocery needs for families with children needing medical care. We work closely with the child's medical team to ensure a seamless and confidential process, emphasizing the importance of authenticity and privacy. Applications for assistance are considered within 2-3 weeks and must be submitted by hospital staff. To enhance communication and ensure timely processing, we encourage sending an email to confirm receipt of the application, as it helps us serve families more efficiently. Through compassionate support, Patches of Light aims to lighten the burdens of families during their most challenging times.
