Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Nunapitchuk, AK, who are navigating the challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial difficulties. Our mission is to provide essential assistance, including help with utility bills, housing support, gas cards, and grocery cards, ensuring that families can focus on what truly matters — their children's health. We accept applications exclusively through hospital staff who are working closely with the family, maintaining confidentiality and ensuring a compassionate approach to each unique situation. We understand that waiting for assistance can be stressful, which is why we strive to process applications within 2-3 weeks. To facilitate communication and ensure every application is accounted for, we encourage hospital staff to follow up with a confirmation email upon submission. At Patches of Light, we are here to lighten the burden for families during their toughest times, working diligently to provide the assistance they need.
