Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Boone, IA, who are facing catastrophic health challenges and financial difficulties. Our mission is to alleviate some of the burdens these families encounter by offering financial assistance for essential needs such as utilities, housing support, gas cards, and grocery cards. We recognize the urgency of your situation, which is why applications, processed through the child's medical team, are typically reviewed within 2-3 weeks. To maintain confidentiality and ensure accuracy, parents are encouraged to work closely with hospital staff to submit applications, as direct communication from families regarding the application is not permitted. We advise confirming the submission of applications via email to help ensure all requests are received and processed promptly. Patches of Light is here to illuminate the path for families during their most challenging times with understanding, support, and practical assistance.
