Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Coushatta, LA, who are grappling with the profound challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial distress. Our mission is to alleviate some of the burdens faced by these families by providing vital financial assistance for utilities, housing, gas cards, and grocery cards. We collaborate closely with hospital staff to ensure that each application is handled with the utmost care, confidentiality, and authenticity, and applications typically take 2-3 weeks for consideration. It's important to note that families cannot apply directly; instead, we work through the child's medical team to process requests. For a smoother application experience, we encourage petitioners to follow up with a confirming email to ensure their application has been received, which helps us serve our community more efficiently.
