Patches of Light serves as a vital resource for families in Burlington, CT, who are navigating the dual challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial hardship. Our organization is dedicated to providing essential financial assistance to support families with children in need. This includes help with utility payments, housing costs, and providing gas and grocery cards. We work closely with hospital staff to ensure that applications for assistance are rigorously verified while respecting the confidentiality of each family's situation. It’s important to note that families cannot apply directly; all requests must be initiated by the child's medical team. We aim to process applications within 2-3 weeks and kindly encourage hospital representatives to follow up with an email confirming receipt of their requests. Your support helps us continue to bring light to challenging times for families within our community.
