Patches of Light in Makawao, HI, is dedicated to supporting families with children who are facing catastrophic health challenges and associated financial hardships. Our mission is to provide critical financial assistance, including help with utilities, housing costs, gas cards, and grocery cards, to ease the burden during difficult times. We work closely with children's medical teams to ensure a discreet and compassionate application process, prioritizing confidentiality and verification. Applications are processed within 2-3 weeks and must be submitted by healthcare professionals; families are not able to apply directly. To expedite processing, we encourage hospital staff to confirm by email once submissions have been made, as this can help us track requests efficiently and provide timely support to those in need.
