Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Catonsville, MD, who are navigating the challenges of catastrophic health issues alongside financial hardship. Our mission is to provide critical financial assistance through aid for utilities, housing support, and access to gas and grocery cards. To ensure confidentiality and the integrity of each case, applications for assistance must be submitted by medical professionals involved in the child's care; families are not able to apply directly. We prioritize a swift application process, typically taking 2-3 weeks for consideration, but encourage confirmation via email to ensure that applications are received. By working closely with healthcare teams, we strive to bring relief and support during some of life’s most difficult moments, helping families focus on what truly matters—their child's health and wellbeing.
