Financial Assistance

Located in Hagerstown, MD, Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families with children who are facing catastrophic health challenges and financial struggles. Our mission is to provide vital financial assistance to help cover essential needs, including utilities, housing, and grocery expenses. We understand the urgency of these situations and work closely with medical teams to ensure confidentiality and accuracy in the assistance process. Applications for aid are submitted by hospital staff, as families are unable to apply directly. This allows us to maintain a supportive environment focused on your child's health and well-being. Once submitted, applications typically take 2-3 weeks for consideration, and we encourage communication via email to confirm receipt of applications to streamline our process. At Patches of Light, we are committed to illuminating difficult paths for families during their most challenging times, ensuring they receive the help they need when they need it most.
