Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Rio Rico, AZ, who are navigating the challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial hardship. Our mission focuses on providing essential financial assistance to ensure these families can maintain stability during difficult times. We assist with paying utilities, housing costs, and provide gas and grocery cards to help ease daily burdens. To uphold confidentiality and authenticity, applications for assistance must come directly from hospital staff involved with the family, as families cannot apply on their own. We process applications within 2-3 weeks, and we encourage petitioners to follow up with a quick email to confirm receipt of their application, helping us to streamline the process and provide support more efficiently. Together, we aim to lighten the burden for families in need, ensuring they have the resources necessary to navigate their challenges with dignity.
