Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Newtown, CT, who are facing the challenges of catastrophic health issues compounded by financial strain. Our mission is to provide essential financial assistance to families with children needing urgent support, making it easier for them to focus on healing. We offer help with utility payments, housing costs, as well as gas and grocery cards to ease daily burdens. Applications for assistance are processed within 2-3 weeks and must be initiated by hospital staff working directly with the family to ensure confidentiality and authenticity. While we prioritize privacy, we encourage a simple follow-up email upon submitting your application to confirm its receipt, which helps us expedite the process. At Patches of Light, we are committed to being a source of comfort and practical support during difficult times.
