Patches of Light is dedicated to providing essential financial assistance to families in Carbondale, CO, who are navigating the challenges of catastrophic health issues. Our mission is to alleviate the burden of financial hardship by offering support for utilities, housing, gas cards, and grocery cards, ensuring that families can focus on their loved ones' health without the added stress of daily expenses. We partner closely with hospital staff to maintain the privacy and integrity of each case, allowing us to verify needs while protecting family confidentiality. Although families cannot apply directly for assistance, we encourage hospital representatives to submit applications, which typically take 2-3 weeks for consideration. To enhance communication and processes, we recommend that a confirmation email be sent following the submission of an application, as this helps us track and expedite assistance efficiently. At Patches of Light, we are here to help families in their time of need with care and support.
