Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Cortez, CO, who are navigating the challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial difficulties. Our mission is to alleviate some of the burdens these families face by providing essential financial assistance for utilities, housing, gas, and grocery needs. We work closely with the child's medical team to ensure that each application is handled with the utmost care and confidentiality. Families cannot apply directly; instead, applications must be submitted by hospital staff, typically taking 2-3 weeks for consideration. To improve the efficiency of our services, we encourage petitions to follow up with an email to confirm the arrival of their application, as this helps us process requests more swiftly and effectively.
