Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Johnston, IA, who are navigating the challenges of catastrophic health issues and the financial strain that often accompanies them. Our mission is to provide essential financial assistance that can ease these burdens, offering support for utilities, housing needs, gas cards, and grocery cards. We prioritize a compassionate approach by working closely with medical teams to ensure verification and uphold strict confidentiality for each family's situation. Please note that applications for assistance take approximately 2-3 weeks to process and must be submitted by hospital staff on behalf of the family, as we cannot accept applications directly from families. To streamline the application process, we encourage confirming the submission of requests via email, ensuring we receive all documentation promptly so we can assist as quickly as possible.
