Patches of Light is dedicated to empowering families in Big Lake, Alaska, who are facing catastrophic health challenges and financial difficulties. Our mission is to provide vital financial assistance that includes support for housing costs, utilities, gas, and grocery needs. Understanding the sensitive nature of these situations, we work closely with hospital staff to ensure confidentiality and verify each request for aid. Families cannot apply directly; instead, applications must be submitted through their child's medical team, allowing us to maintain a secure and supportive environment. We encourage all petitioners to follow up with a quick email to confirm their application has been received, which helps us process requests efficiently and provide timely assistance during challenging times. Together, we strive to bring hope and relief to those who need it most.
