Financial Assistance

Patches of Light provides compassionate financial assistance to families in Tallahassee, FL, who are navigating the challenges of catastrophic health issues. Our mission is to support families by covering essential costs such as utilities, housing, and necessary transportation with gas and grocery cards. We work closely with medical teams to ensure that all requests are verified, maintaining the strict confidentiality of each family’s situation. To apply for assistance, hospital staff must submit applications on behalf of the families, as personal applications from family members are not permitted. The application process typically takes 2-3 weeks. To help facilitate timely processing, we encourage hospital staff to confirm the submission of applications via email, as this enhances our ability to respond effectively. We are here to lighten the burden for families during their most difficult times, ensuring they have the support they need to focus on healing.
