Patches of Light, located in Pittsfield, ME, is dedicated to supporting families with children who are grappling with severe health issues and financial struggles. Our mission is to alleviate some of the burdens these families face by providing critical assistance with utilities, housing costs, and essential resources like gas and grocery cards. We understand the urgent nature of these needs, and we work exclusively through the child's medical team to ensure confidentiality and authenticity in every application. Families cannot apply directly for assistance; instead, hospital staff must submit requests on their behalf. To streamline the process, we encourage a brief email confirmation upon submission of applications, as this can help us promptly address any potential issues due to technology or security. Together, we strive to bring comfort and relief during challenging times.
