Located in Hampden, ME, Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families with children who are grappling with catastrophic health issues and the accompanying financial strain. Our mission is to provide essential financial assistance, including support for utilities, housing costs, gas cards, and grocery cards. Recognizing the sensitive nature of each case, applications are processed through the child's medical team to ensure confidentiality and authenticity. Families are encouraged to have hospital staff submit applications on their behalf, as individual applications cannot be accepted. The review process typically takes 2-3 weeks, and we recommend confirming application submissions via email to ensure prompt consideration. At Patches of Light, we strive to lighten the burden of families during challenging times, helping them navigate their difficulties with dignity and care.
