Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Rock Island, IL, with children facing catastrophic health challenges and financial difficulties. We provide essential financial assistance to help cover utilities, housing costs, and transportation needs through gas cards and grocery cards, ensuring families have the necessary resources during these trying times. Our application process, which typically takes 2-3 weeks for consideration, is designed to safeguard privacy and streamline support; therefore, applications must be submitted by hospital staff involved with the family. To maintain confidentiality, we do not communicate directly with applicants or their families regarding the application status. To facilitate efficient processing, we encourage hospital staff to confirm the receipt of application requests via email, helping us serve our community effectively and compassionately during difficult moments.
