Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Norwich, CT, who are navigating the challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial hardship. Our mission is to provide essential financial assistance to families with children in need, helping them cover critical costs such as utility bills, housing expenses, gas cards, and grocery cards. We understand the urgency of these situations and work directly through the child's medical team to ensure confidentiality and verify the authenticity of each request. To access our support, applications must be submitted by hospital staff and typically take 2-3 weeks to process. While families cannot apply directly, we encourage applicants to follow up with a brief email to confirm their application has been received, as this ensures efficient processing of their request during this difficult time.
