Patches of Light, located in Bloomfield, CT, is dedicated to supporting families with children facing severe health challenges and financial difficulties. Our mission is to provide essential financial assistance, helping families to cover crucial expenses such as utilities, housing, gas, and grocery needs. We work closely with medical teams to ensure the privacy and authenticity of each application, which typically takes 2-3 weeks for consideration. It is important to note that applications must be submitted by hospital staff on behalf of families, as we maintain strict confidentiality protocols. While we cannot engage directly with applicants or family members regarding the status of applications, we encourage hospital staff to confirm receipt of submissions via email. This simple step can greatly expedite the process, allowing us to focus on delivering timely support to those in need during challenging times.
