Our mission is to provide essential financial assistance, including help with utilities, housing, gas cards, and grocery cards, to ensure that families can focus on what truly matters - the health and well-being of their children. To maintain confidentiality and integrity, all applications for aid must be submitted by hospital staff working alongside the family, and we take great care to process requests efficiently within 2-3 weeks. We encourage hospital personnel to confirm the submission of applications via email to facilitate timely assistance. By partnering with medical teams, Patches of Light strives to provide crucial support while respecting the sensitive nature of each situation.
