Financial Assistance

Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Frederick, MD, who are navigating the challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial difficulties. Our mission is to provide vital financial assistance through help with utilities, housing support, gas cards, and grocery cards, ensuring that those in need can concentrate on their child’s recovery. We work closely with each family's medical team to maintain confidentiality and validate requests, as applications can only be submitted by hospital staff. To facilitate a smoother process, we encourage families to confirm application submissions via email, allowing us to effectively manage and evaluate requests within a typical timeframe of 2-3 weeks. At Patches of Light, we understand the urgency of your situation and are committed to offering practical support when it matters most.
