Patches of Light is dedicated to assisting families in Riverview, FL, who are navigating the difficult terrain of catastrophic health issues and financial hardship. We understand the critical needs of families with children facing overwhelming challenges, offering vital support through our financial assistance program. Our services include help with utility payments, housing costs, gas cards, and grocery cards, ensuring that families can focus on their child's health without the additional stress of financial burdens. To maintain the utmost confidentiality and integrity, applications must be submitted by hospital staff on behalf of the families we serve, and the review process typically takes 2-3 weeks. We emphasize the importance of communication; applicants are encouraged to send a confirmation email upon submission of their application to help us manage and process requests efficiently. At Patches of Light, we believe in providing compassionate support during unprecedented times, working closely with medical teams to ensure every family's needs are met with care and respect.
