Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Ashdown, AR, who are grappling with the overwhelming challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial strain. Our mission is to alleviate some of this burden by providing financial assistance that includes help with utilities, housing costs, gas cards, and grocery cards. We understand the urgency of each situation, which is why applications processed through a child's medical team take only 2-3 weeks to consider. To ensure confidentiality and the integrity of the process, families are guided by hospital staff to submit applications, as direct contact from applicants is not permitted. We encourage applicants to confirm the receipt of their requests via email to ensure timely processing, allowing us to focus our efforts on what matters most – the well-being of children and their families during difficult times.
