Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Grand Bay, AL, with children facing catastrophic health challenges and financial distress. Our mission is to alleviate some of the burdens these families carry through essential financial assistance, including help with utilities, housing, gas cards, and grocery cards. Applications for assistance are carefully considered, with processing typically taking 2-3 weeks. To maintain confidentiality and ensure support reaches those in need, applications must be submitted by hospital staff working directly with the family, as we cannot accept requests from family members. We encourage applicants to follow up with a confirmation email upon submission to help us efficiently process requests, as this ensures applications are received and allows us to serve families more effectively during their time of need.
