Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Puunene, HI, who are navigating the challenging intersection of catastrophic health issues and financial strain. Our mission is to provide essential financial assistance to families with children facing health crises, helping them cover vital expenses such as utilities and housing. We also offer gas and grocery cards to ease the burden of daily living costs. To maintain the focus on the family’s wellbeing, applications for assistance are exclusively submitted by hospital staff involved with the child's care, ensuring confidentiality throughout the process. While we understand the urgency of these situations, we kindly ask that families refrain from direct contact regarding applications to streamline our efforts and preserve privacy. To expedite processing, a quick email confirming the submission of applications is highly encouraged. Together, we work to make a tangible difference in the lives of those who need it most.
