Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Standish, ME, who are navigating the challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial hardship. Our mission is to provide crucial financial assistance for essentials such as utilities, housing, gas, and groceries, ensuring families have one less worry during difficult times. To maintain confidentiality and ensure the authenticity of each request, we collaborate directly with the child’s medical team, meaning applications must be submitted by hospital staff. We understand that applying for help can be stressful, which is why our team is committed to processing applications within 2-3 weeks. To help us serve you better, we encourage hospital staff to confirm receipt of applications via email, ensuring we don't miss any important requests. At Patches of Light, we believe that no family should have to face these challenges alone, and we are here to light the way towards stability and support.
