Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to assisting families in Santa Cruz, CA, who are navigating the challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial crises. Our compassionate program provides essential financial assistance for utilities, housing, gas, and grocery needs, helping to ease the burden during difficult times. To ensure effective and confidential support, applications must be submitted by hospital staff involved with the family, as we prioritize the integrity and privacy of each situation. We understand the urgency of these requests; therefore, we encourage a follow-up email to confirm the receipt of applications, which helps us process them efficiently. With a focus on caring support and practical help, Patches of Light is here to illuminate the path for families in need.
