Patches of Light serves families in West Lafayette, IN, who are navigating the dual challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial strain. Our mission is to alleviate some of the burdens these families face by providing critical financial assistance, including support for utilities and housing, as well as gas cards and grocery cards. We prioritize confidentiality and work closely with children’s medical teams to verify the legitimacy of each request. Applications, submitted exclusively by hospital staff, typically take 2-3 weeks for processing. To ensure smooth communication and timely assistance, we encourage hospital staff to confirm the submission of applications via email, which helps us efficiently track and manage requests without direct contact from applicants or families. At Patches of Light, we are dedicated to easing financial pressures, allowing families to focus on what truly matters—the health and well-being of their children.
