Patches of Light is dedicated to providing essential financial assistance to families in Alfred, ME, who have children experiencing catastrophic health challenges. Our mission focuses on alleviating the burdens of financial hardship through support with utilities, housing costs, and transportation needs via gas cards and grocery cards. We partner closely with medical staff to ensure that each application is handled with confidentiality and care; therefore, applications must be submitted by hospital personnel on behalf of the families, as direct contact from applicants is not permitted. We strive to process applications within 2-3 weeks and recommend that hospital staff confirm the submission of requests via email, ensuring seamless communication. At Patches of Light, we are committed to bringing hope and support to those in need during their most challenging times.
