Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Oakland, ME, who are navigating the dual challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial hardship. Our mission focuses on providing crucial financial assistance for utilities, housing, gas, and grocery needs to ensure that families can focus on their child's recovery. We work exclusively through medical teams, as applications can only be submitted by hospital staff to maintain confidentiality and verify eligibility. Once submitted, applications typically take 2-3 weeks for consideration. We encourage submitting a confirmation email to ensure that requests are received, allowing us to assist families as efficiently as possible during their time of need.
