Patches of Light, located in Farmington, CT, provides compassionate financial assistance to families with children experiencing catastrophic health issues and financial distress. Our dedicated program focuses on alleviating urgent needs by offering support for utilities, housing costs, as well as providing gas and grocery cards to help ease the burden during difficult times. To ensure confidentiality and a streamlined process, applications for assistance are submitted exclusively through hospital staff working with the affected families, and typically take 2-3 weeks to review. As communication relies on the medical team, we kindly ask that families refrain from direct inquiries regarding their applications. For efficient processing, we encourage applicants to send a confirmation email once their requests are submitted, as this helps to mitigate potential issues with technology and ensures timely assistance. At Patches of Light, we are committed to bringing hope and support to families in their time of greatest need.
