Patches of Light in Semmes, AL is dedicated to assisting families with children who are faced with catastrophic health challenges and financial struggles. Our mission is to provide critical support during these difficult times through financial assistance for utilities, housing, gas cards, and grocery cards. Applications are processed in collaboration with the child's medical team to ensure confidentiality and authenticity, typically taking 2-3 weeks for consideration. It's important to note that applications must be submitted by hospital staff on behalf of the families, as direct communication from applicants or family members regarding the application process is not permitted. We encourage hospital staff to confirm application submissions via email to avoid any delays, allowing us to efficiently support families in need with the emergency help they require.
