Patches of Light is a compassionate organization dedicated to supporting families in Sanford, ME, who are navigating the challenging realities of catastrophic health issues and accompanying financial burdens. Our mission is to provide essential financial assistance to help ease the stress of these difficult times, with services that include support for utilities and housing costs, as well as offering gas and grocery cards. To ensure a smooth application process, our program requires submissions to be made by hospital staff working with the family, emphasizing strict confidentiality and verification through medical teams. While we cannot engage directly with families, we encourage a proactive approach from hospital representatives to confirm the arrival of applications via email, allowing us to expedite the consideration process, typically within 2-3 weeks. At Patches of Light, our commitment is to bring tangible support and relief to those facing overwhelming challenges, affirming that no family should face their struggles alone.
