Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Perry, IA, who are navigating the challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial crises. Our mission is to alleviate some of the burden by providing critical assistance for utilities, housing expenses, gas cards, and grocery support. We work closely with hospital staff to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of each family’s situation, as applications can only be submitted through medical personnel and typically take 2-3 weeks to process. To facilitate an efficient application process, we encourage hospital staff to confirm the submission of requests via email, helping us to address needs in a timely manner. At Patches of Light, we understand the urgency of these circumstances and are committed to providing compassionate and practical support to those in need.
