Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Orono, ME, who are navigating the challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial difficulties. Our mission is to alleviate some of the burdens these families face by providing essential financial assistance for utilities, housing, gas cards, and grocery cards. To ensure the utmost confidentiality and verification, applications must be submitted through hospital staff working closely with the affected family. While processing applications can take 2-3 weeks, we encourage families to follow up with a quick email to confirm receipt of their request, as this greatly helps us in ensuring timely support. We are committed to being a beacon of hope and assistance during such trying times, reaffirming our values of care, support, and integrity in every interaction.
