Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Ellsworth, ME, who are navigating the challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial difficulties. Our mission is to provide critical financial assistance that includes support for utilities, housing, gas cards, and grocery cards, ensuring that families can focus on their child's health without the burden of financial strain. To initiate assistance, applications must be submitted by hospital staff who are working directly with the family, ensuring confidentiality and authenticity in each case. We recognize the urgency of these situations, and while application processing takes approximately 2-3 weeks, we encourage applicants to confirm the submission of their request via email to streamline our review process. At Patches of Light, we understand the delicate nature of these circumstances and are committed to delivering compassionate support to those in need.
