Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Elkton, MD, who are facing catastrophic health challenges and financial hardships. We provide vital financial assistance to help cover utilities, housing costs, gas cards, and grocery cards for families with children in need. Our application process, which takes 2-3 weeks, is unique as assistance requests must be initiated by hospital staff working with the family, ensuring a respectful and confidential approach to each situation. We emphasize the importance of communication; a quick email confirming the receipt of your application helps us to process your request more efficiently. At Patches of Light, we are committed to alleviating the burdens these families face so they can focus on the health and well-being of their children.
