Located in Norwalk, CT, Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families with children who are battling catastrophic health issues and financial difficulties. Our mission is to alleviate the burden during these challenging times by providing critical financial assistance, including support for utilities, housing expenses, gas cards, and grocery cards. To ensure a streamlined process, applications must be submitted by hospital staff who are working closely with the family, and typically take 2-3 weeks for review. We prioritize privacy and confidentiality, so we ask families to refrain from direct communication regarding their applications, as all inquiries will be handled through medical personnel. To facilitate timely processing, we encourage an email confirmation of application submissions, as this helps prevent technological oversights. Patches of Light is here to offer a helping hand when families need it most, embodying compassion and support in their time of need.
