Patches of Light is dedicated to providing vital financial assistance to families with children experiencing catastrophic health challenges in Union, ME. We understand the immense pressure that medical crises can place on families, which is why we offer support for essential needs such as utility bills, housing costs, gas cards, and grocery cards. Our application process, which typically takes 2-3 weeks, requires submissions from hospital staff involved with the family, ensuring confidentiality and authenticity in each request. While we cannot accept direct communication from families regarding their applications, we encourage hospital partners to confirm application submissions via email. This practice helps us manage requests efficiently, allowing us to focus on delivering compassionate care to those in need. Through our mission, we aim to lighten the financial burden for families during their toughest times, enabling them to concentrate on their child's health and recovery.
