Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Colby, KS who are facing the dual challenges of catastrophic health concerns and financial strain. Our mission is to provide vital assistance that eases this burden, helping with essential expenses such as utility bills, housing, transportation through gas cards, and food needs via grocery cards. We work closely with medical teams to ensure that our support maintains the highest levels of confidentiality, making the application process streamlined and efficient. Applications, which can only be submitted by hospital staff on behalf of the families, typically take 2-3 weeks for consideration. We encourage clear communication throughout this process, so following up with an email upon submission can significantly help in tracking and facilitating requests. Patches of Light is here to guide families through these challenging times with compassionate, practical assistance.
