Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Tolland, CT, who are facing the dual challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial hardship. Our mission is to provide essential financial assistance for critical necessities, such as utilities, housing, gas cards, and grocery cards. We understand the urgency of these needs; hence, our applications are processed through the child's medical team to ensure confidentiality and authenticity, taking approximately 2-3 weeks for consideration. We ask that applications are submitted by hospital staff, as direct applications from families cannot be accepted. To aid in efficient processing, a follow-up email confirming the submission helps us manage incoming requests effectively. Our commitment is to provide compassionate support during these challenging times.
