Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to providing vital financial assistance to families in Lake City, FL, who are facing the overwhelming challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial hardship. Our mission focuses on supporting families with children by offering help with housing costs, utility bills, and providing gas and grocery cards to ease their burden during tough times. We value the importance of confidentiality and work directly with children's medical teams to ensure that applications are processed accurately and promptly. Families cannot apply directly; instead, applications must be submitted by hospital staff and typically take 2-3 weeks for consideration. To streamline the application process and improve communication, we encourage the inclusion of a confirmation email when submitting requests. At Patches of Light, we strive to bring hope and relief to families in distress, understanding that every moment counts.
