Financial Assistance

Patches of Light, located in Winter Haven, FL, is dedicated to supporting families with children facing catastrophic health challenges and financial difficulties. Our mission is to provide essential financial assistance to alleviate immediate burdens, offering help with utilities, housing costs, gas cards, and grocery cards. We work closely with the child's medical team to ensure that all applications are handled with care and confidentiality. Applications typically take 2-3 weeks for processing and must be submitted by hospital staff on behalf of the family, as direct applications from families cannot be accepted. For efficient processing, we encourage hospital staff to confirm the arrival of applications via email, ensuring that no submission is missed due to technological issues. At Patches of Light, we are committed to making a tangible difference in the lives of families during their most challenging times.
