Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Old Town, ME, who are navigating the challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial hardship. Our mission is to provide essential financial assistance, including utility support, housing help, gas cards, and grocery cards, all through the collaboration with the child's medical team to ensure confidentiality and authenticity. We recognize the urgency of each situation and strive to process applications promptly, which typically take 2-3 weeks to consider. For families seeking help, we ask that applications be submitted by hospital staff; direct inquiries from families cannot be accommodated to maintain privacy. To improve service efficiency, we encourage a follow-up email once an application is submitted, ensuring that we can quickly register and address requests. With Patches of Light, families can find a beacon of hope during their time of need.
