Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Redwood City, CA, who are navigating the challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial difficulties. We provide essential financial assistance to help cover utilities, housing costs, gas, and groceries, ensuring that families can focus on what truly matters—caring for their children. Our application process, which takes 2-3 weeks for consideration, is designed to maintain confidentiality and is exclusively managed through the child's medical team. As we prioritize privacy, families are not able to contact us directly regarding their applications. We encourage hospital staff to submit requests along with a confirmation email to ensure timely processing, helping us serve families effectively during their critical time of need.
