Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Ward, AR, who are navigating the challenges of catastrophic health issues and the financial burden that often accompanies them. Our mission is to alleviate some of the stress faced by these families by providing essential financial assistance, including help with utilities, housing, gas cards, and grocery cards. We work closely with hospital staff to ensure that all assistance requests are handled with the utmost confidentiality and accuracy, as applications must be submitted by medical professionals on behalf of the families. Once received, our team aims to process applications within 2-3 weeks. To streamline this process, we encourage hospital staff to confirm the submission of applications via email, helping us efficiently assist those in need during difficult times.
