Patches of Light is dedicated to providing crucial financial assistance to families in Calera, AL, who are facing the dual challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial strain. Our mission focuses on easing the burdens of families with children by offering support for essential needs such as utility payments, housing accommodations, grocery gifts, and gas cards. Applications for assistance are carefully reviewed and typically take 2-3 weeks for consideration, and it's important to note that only hospital staff involved with the family can submit requests on their behalf to ensure privacy and respect. To facilitate smooth processing, we encourage petitioners to confirm via email that their application was received, as this can greatly enhance our response time and service efficiency. At Patches of Light, we are committed to serving families with compassion while maintaining the utmost confidentiality throughout the process.
