Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Osage, IA, who are facing the challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial hardship. Our mission is to provide essential financial assistance to families with children in need, enabling them to focus on their child's health and well-being without the weight of overwhelming expenses. We offer support for utility bills, housing costs, gas cards, and grocery cards. Applications for assistance are accepted exclusively through hospital staff working with the family to ensure confidentiality and verification. We kindly ask that families confirm the arrival of their applications via email, as this helps us streamline the approval process, which typically takes 2-3 weeks. At Patches of Light, we believe in the power of community and are here to lend a helping hand during difficult times.
