Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Delaware City, DE, who are navigating the challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial difficulties. Our mission is to alleviate some of the burdens faced by these families by providing essential financial assistance for utilities, housing, and transportation needs through gas and grocery cards. To ensure a focused and confidential approach, applications must be submitted by hospital staff working closely with the family, and the processing typically takes 2-3 weeks. We prioritize maintaining the dignity and privacy of each situation, which is why we refrain from direct communication with applicants regarding their applications. By fostering a collaborative relationship with medical teams, we can effectively support families during their most trying times, helping them find a pathway to relief and stability.
