Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Tracy, CA, who are facing the dual challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial instability. Our mission centers on providing essential financial assistance to help families cover vital expenses such as utilities, housing, and transportation, with the added support of grocery cards to help nourish their loved ones. Applications for assistance are assessed within 2-3 weeks and must be submitted by hospital staff working closely with the family, ensuring confidentiality and authenticity. To foster a smooth application process, we encourage hospital representatives to confirm receipt of applications via email, which aids in timely processing and alleviates potential communication issues. At Patches of Light, we are here to illuminate the path for families in their hour of need, offering a helping hand when they need it most.
