Patches of Light is dedicated to providing financial assistance to families in Prudhoe Bay, AK, who are navigating the challenges of catastrophic health issues. We understand the strain that medical emergencies can place on families, and we strive to alleviate some of the burden. Our program offers crucial support, including assistance with utilities, housing costs, gas cards, and grocery cards. To ensure confidentiality and authenticity, applications must be submitted by hospital staff involved with the family’s care; families are unable to apply directly. We carefully review each application, which typically takes 2-3 weeks, and it is highly beneficial for applicants to confirm their submission via email. This process helps us track applications and respond promptly so that we can effectively serve those in need during difficult times.
