Patches of Light in Westport, CT, is dedicated to supporting families with children who are enduring catastrophic health challenges and associated financial struggles. Our mission is to provide critical financial assistance for essential needs such as housing and utilities, along with gas and grocery cards to ease their burden. We understand the urgency involved, and applications, facilitated exclusively through hospital staff, typically take 2-3 weeks for consideration. We emphasize confidentiality and require that petitional inquiries be routed through a child's medical team to maintain privacy. To help streamline the process, we encourage submitting a confirmation email upon application to ensure that all requests are received and managed efficiently, allowing us to serve families promptly in their time of need.
