Patches of Light is dedicated to providing vital support to families in Sitka, AK, who are facing catastrophic health issues and significant financial challenges. Our mission is to alleviate some of the burdens these families endure by offering financial assistance for essential needs such as housing, utility bills, gas cards, and grocery cards. Each application is handled with the utmost care and confidentiality, requiring submission through the child's medical team to ensure authenticity. We understand that this process can be overwhelming, which is why we commit to processing applications within 2-3 weeks. We encourage hospital staff to send a confirmation email upon submitting an application to help us track requests more effectively. Together, we aim to light the way for families in need during their most difficult times.
