Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Valparaiso, IN, who face the dual challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial hardship. We provide vital financial assistance to children in need through our comprehensive programs, which include support for utilities, housing, gas cards, and grocery cards. Our application process, conducted exclusively through hospital staff, ensures confidentiality and is designed to verify the needs of each family while maintaining a supportive environment. We understand the urgency of these requests; therefore, we encourage families to have their medical team submit applications that typically take 2-3 weeks for consideration. To streamline communication, a confirmation email following application submission can help us manage the influx of requests effectively, allowing us to provide timely assistance to those who need it most.
