Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Bloomington, IL, who are navigating the challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial difficulties. Our mission is to provide a lifeline by assisting with essential needs, including utility payments, housing costs, gas cards, and grocery cards. We partner closely with medical staff to ensure confidentiality and authenticity in each application, as assistance requests must be initiated by hospital personnel.

At Patches of Light, we understand the urgency of these challenges and are here to offer compassionate, practical help to families during their time of need.
