Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in West Hartford, CT, who are facing the dual challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial strain. Our mission is to provide crucial financial assistance to alleviate some of the burdens these families carry. We offer help with essential expenses, including utilities, housing costs, gas cards, and grocery cards. To maintain confidentiality and ensure the integrity of our service, applications for assistance must be submitted by hospital staff on behalf of the families, and families themselves cannot directly apply. The processing of applications takes approximately 2-3 weeks, and we encourage hospital staff to confirm the submission of requests via email, as this helps us track and expedite the assistance we provide. At Patches of Light, we understand the urgency of these situations and work diligently through medical teams to deliver the support families need during their times of crisis.
