Patches of Light, located in Kennebunkport, ME, is dedicated to assisting families with children who are grappling with serious health challenges and financial difficulties. Our mission is to provide crucial support by offering financial aid for utilities, housing, gas cards, and grocery cards, ensuring that families can focus on healing without the burden of financial stress. To maintain confidentiality and ensure that all assistance is validated, applications must be submitted by hospital staff working directly with the family, and families themselves cannot apply. We understand the urgency of these situations, and while application processing typically takes 2-3 weeks, we encourage hospital staff to follow up with an email to confirm receipt of their submissions. Patches of Light is committed to navigating these difficult circumstances with care and respect, always prioritizing the well-being of the families we serve.
