Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Kalona, IA, grappling with catastrophic health challenges and financial difficulties. We offer critical financial assistance, including help with utilities, housing expenses, gas cards, and grocery cards to ease the burden during tough times. We carefully process applications submitted by hospital staff on behalf of the family, ensuring both authenticity and confidentiality. Although families cannot apply directly, our streamlined application process allows us to provide timely support—typically within 2-3 weeks. We recommend that petitions be followed up with an email to confirm receipt of the application, as this helps us address potential technical issues and expedite assistance for those in need.
