Patches of Light is dedicated to providing vital financial assistance to families in Raymond, ME, who are grappling with catastrophic health challenges while facing financial difficulties. Our mission is to support these families through difficult times by offering help with utilities, housing expenses, gas cards, and grocery cards. We prioritize the needs of children and work closely with their medical teams to ensure a seamless support process that respects confidentiality and integrity. To initiate support, applications must be submitted by hospital staff on behalf of the family, as we do not accept direct applications. We aim to process applications within 2-3 weeks, and to enhance communication, we encourage a follow-up email to confirm receipt of applications. By relying on verified referrals, Patches of Light strives to create a caring network that addresses urgent needs with compassion and efficiency.
