Located in Fairfield, IA, Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families with children who are facing catastrophic health challenges and financial difficulties. Our mission is to alleviate some of the pressure that arises during these tough times by providing essential financial assistance, including help with utilities, housing support, gas cards, and grocery cards. We understand the urgency of these needs, which is why applications are processed within 2-3 weeks via the child's medical team to ensure confidentiality and authenticity. As we work closely with hospital staff, direct contact from families regarding applications is not permitted, allowing us to focus solely on delivering timely support. We encourage applicants to confirm their application submissions via email to streamline our process and offer the most effective help possible.
