Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Lakeland, FL, who are navigating the challenging intersection of catastrophic health issues and financial strain. We understand the immense pressures these families face, which is why we offer critical financial assistance for utilities, housing, gas, and groceries. Our unique program channels support through the child's medical team to ensure confidential and effective help. Applications must be submitted by hospital staff on behalf of the families, and while we cannot facilitate direct communication with families regarding applications, we strongly encourage a follow-up email to confirm receipt of submitted requests, ensuring timely processing. Together, we work to bring light into the lives of those in difficult situations, providing both practical support and a compassionate hand to hold during trying times.
