At Patches of Light, located in Fort Kent, ME, we are dedicated to providing critical financial assistance to families with children experiencing severe health challenges. Our mission is to offer support during times of financial distress by helping with essential needs such as utility bills, housing costs, and offering gas and grocery cards to alleviate some of the burdens our families face. We understand the urgency of these situations, and applications are processed within 2-3 weeks through the child's medical team to ensure confidentiality and verification. Please note that applications must be submitted by hospital staff, as families cannot apply directly. To facilitate a smooth process, we recommend sending a confirmation email when an application is submitted, assisting us in tracking your request and ensuring timely assistance.
