Patches of Light in Alexandria, LA is dedicated to supporting families with children who are navigating catastrophic health challenges and accompanying financial difficulties. Committed to easing the burden during these difficult times, we provide essential financial assistance for utilities, housing, gas cards, and grocery cards. Our application process is managed confidentially through the child's medical team, ensuring that each request is authenticated and handled with care. We kindly ask that applications be submitted by hospital staff, as families are unable to apply directly. Applications typically take 2-3 weeks for consideration, and to ensure we receive your request, we recommend sending an email to confirm its arrival. Together, we strive to shine a light on families in need, offering practical support through their toughest days.
