Patches of Light is dedicated to providing vital financial assistance to families in Carmel, IN, who are navigating the overwhelming challenges of catastrophic health issues. Our mission is to support these families by offering help with essential needs such as utility payments, housing support, gas cards, and grocery cards. We understand the urgency of these situations, which is why applications, processed in collaboration with a child's medical team, are reviewed within 2-3 weeks to ensure timely support. To maintain strict confidentiality, applicants can only initiate assistance through hospital staff, preventing direct contact with families during the application process. We encourage families to confirm the submission of their applications via email to ensure nothing gets lost in transmission. Together, we strive to lighten the burden on families during their most difficult times, fostering hope and resilience.
