Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Frankford, DE, who are navigating the dual challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial strain. Our mission is to provide vital financial assistance to families with children in need by helping cover essential expenses, including utilities, housing costs, and transportation like gas cards, as well as grocery cards for necessary food assistance. To ensure a streamlined process, applications must be submitted by hospital staff affiliated with the family, and can take 2-3 weeks for consideration. We emphasize strict confidentiality and communication through medical teams, thus we prioritize the integrity of our application process over direct inquiries from families. We encourage hospital staff to follow up with a confirmation email once the application is submitted to help us efficiently expedite assistance during these critical times.
