Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is a compassionate organization in Ignacio, CO, dedicated to providing essential financial assistance to families with children facing catastrophic health issues. Our mission is to alleviate some of the burdens during these challenging times by offering support for utilities, housing costs, gas cards, and grocery cards. We work closely with hospital staff to ensure that each request is handled with the utmost confidentiality and care, as families must be referred by their child’s medical team to apply for assistance. We understand the urgency of these situations and strive to process applications efficiently, typically within 2-3 weeks. To ensure a smooth application experience, we encourage submitting a confirmation email after sending in your request, as this helps us track applications effectively. At Patches of Light, we are committed to supporting families through their toughest moments with dignity and respect.
