Patches of Light is dedicated to providing crucial financial assistance to families in Carroll, IA, who are facing the challenges of catastrophic health issues. Our mission is to support families by covering essential costs such as utilities, housing, and transportation through gas cards, as well as providing grocery cards to help meet basic food needs. We collaborate closely with medical teams to ensure that support reaches those in need while maintaining strict confidentiality and authenticity in each case. Applications take 2-3 weeks for processing and must be submitted through hospital staff, as we do not accept direct requests from families. To streamline this process, we encourage families to confirm the status of their applications via email, ensuring that no request goes unnoticed. Through our unwavering support, we strive to alleviate some of the burdens these families face during difficult times.
