Patches of Light, located in Holden, ME, is dedicated to supporting families with children battling catastrophic health issues and facing financial hardships. Our mission focuses on providing crucial financial assistance for necessities such as utility bills, housing costs, gas cards, and grocery cards, ensuring that families can navigate their challenges with a little less stress. We operate exclusively through the child's medical team to maintain confidentiality and validate the need for support, which requires that applications be submitted directly by hospital staff. The review process typically takes 2-3 weeks, and to enhance our efficiency, we encourage a follow-up email confirming the application's arrival. By prioritizing privacy and cooperation with healthcare professionals, Patches of Light aims to bring hope and relief to families in desperate need during incredibly challenging times.
