Financial Assistance

Patches of Light, located in Cumberland, MD, is dedicated to providing essential financial assistance to families with children facing catastrophic health issues. Our mission is to alleviate some of the burdens these families experience by offering support for necessities such as utility payments, housing assistance, gas cards, and grocery cards. We work closely with hospital staff to ensure that each application is verified and handled with the utmost confidentiality and care, as we prioritize the well-being of the families we serve. Applications typically take 2-3 weeks for consideration, and it is important that requests come directly from a child's medical team. For a smoother process, we encourage confirmation emails to ensure applications are received, allowing us to provide timely support during difficult times.
