Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Bar Harbor, ME, who are navigating the challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial strain. Our mission is to provide essential financial assistance, including help with utility bills, housing costs, gas cards, and grocery cards, ensuring families have the support they need during difficult times. We prioritize maintaining confidentiality and work closely with children's medical teams to verify circumstances. Applications can take 2-3 weeks for consideration and must be submitted by hospital staff, as families are unable to apply directly. To ensure a smooth process, we encourage a follow-up email confirming the arrival of applications, which helps us manage submissions effectively and provide timely assistance.
