In Newington, CT, Patches of Light is dedicated to providing critical financial assistance to families with children facing severe health challenges and related financial difficulties. Our mission focuses on alleviating the stresses of everyday life by offering support for essentials like utilities, housing, and transportation through gas cards and grocery vouchers. To ensure effective and confidential assistance, applications for support must be submitted by hospital staff involved in the child's care, and families cannot apply directly. We take pride in maintaining strict confidentiality and verifying the authenticity of each request through the medical team. We kindly ask petitioners to follow their application with a confirmation email to ensure timely processing and to overcome any potential issues arising from technology and security, thereby allowing us to better serve the families who need us most.
