Patches of Light is dedicated to serving families in Ferriday, LA, who are facing catastrophic health issues and significant financial challenges. Our mission is to provide critical financial assistance for essentials, including help with utilities, housing costs, gas cards, and grocery cards. We understand the urgency of these situations and strive to process applications swiftly within 2-3 weeks. To ensure confidentiality and authenticity, applications must be submitted by hospital staff working directly with the family in need, as families are not able to apply themselves. We recognize the importance of clear communication, so we encourage applicants to follow up with a confirming email to ensure their requests have been received, allowing us to assist families more efficiently during their time of need.
