Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Batesville, AR, with children who are facing catastrophic health challenges and financial difficulties. Our mission is to alleviate some of the burdens these families encounter by providing essential financial assistance, including support for utilities, housing costs, and transportation through gas and grocery cards. We work closely with the child's medical team to ensure the legitimacy of requests while maintaining strict confidentiality. For assistance, applications must be submitted by hospital staff, and we ask families to follow up with a brief email confirming the application’s arrival. This helps us address submissions efficiently, as each application typically takes 2-3 weeks for processing. Together, we can light the way for families during their most challenging times.
