Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Columbus, IN, who are navigating the hardships of catastrophic health issues. Our mission is to alleviate the financial burdens faced by families with children during these challenging times. We provide essential financial assistance, including support for utilities, housing costs, gas cards, and grocery cards, ensuring families have access to basic necessities. To ensure a thorough and confidential process, applications are accepted solely through hospital staff working directly with the family, taking approximately 2-3 weeks for consideration. While we prioritize confidentiality, we encourage hospitals to confirm the arrival of applications via email to enhance our processing efficiency. Patches of Light is here to guide families through their most difficult moments, offering hope and practical support when they need it most.
