Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Lamar, CO, who are caring for children facing catastrophic health challenges and related financial struggles. Our mission is to provide essential financial assistance, including help with utilities, housing support, gas cards, and grocery cards, ensuring that families have access to vital resources during difficult times. We prioritize confidentiality and work closely with the child's medical team to verify requests, making the application process straightforward while respecting families' privacy. Applications typically take 2-3 weeks to process, and it is important that they are submitted through hospital staff rather than directly by families to maintain this confidentiality. For a smoother experience, we encourage submitting a confirmation email upon application submission to help us track and expedite the assistance process. Together, we illuminate the path for families in need, fostering hope and resilience in challenging circumstances.
