Financial Assistance

Patches of Light provides crucial financial assistance to families with children enduring serious health challenges in Modesto, CA. Our mission is to alleviate some of the burdens these families face by offering support for vital needs such as utility bills, housing costs, gas cards, and grocery cards. We understand that navigating these hardships can be overwhelming, which is why our program is designed to work closely with the child's medical team to ensure authenticity and maintain confidentiality throughout the application process. Families seeking help must have their applications submitted by hospital staff; this process typically takes 2-3 weeks. To facilitate timely assistance, we encourage hospital staff to send a confirmation email upon submission of an application, helping us ensure it is received promptly and processed efficiently. At Patches of Light, we are committed to bringing hope and relief to families during their most challenging times.
