At Patches of Light, located in Muncie, IN, we are dedicated to helping families with children who are navigating the challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial strain. Our mission is to provide essential financial assistance, which includes support for utilities, housing costs, gas cards, and grocery cards, ensuring that families can focus on their child’s health and well-being without the burden of financial stress. We value privacy and integrity, working exclusively with hospital staff to verify each application, which typically takes 2-3 weeks for consideration. To expedite the process and maintain confidentiality, we kindly ask that families do not reach out directly regarding their applications. A simple follow-up email confirming the submission can greatly aid our ability to process requests efficiently and provide the timely help that families need during these critical times.
