Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Windsor, CT, who are facing the dual challenges of catastrophic health issues and financial hardship. Our mission is to provide essential financial assistance for vital needs such as utilities, housing, and transportation through gas and grocery cards. We work closely with hospital staff to ensure that each family's situation is verified while maintaining strict confidentiality. Applications typically take 2-3 weeks for consideration; however, direct communication from families regarding their applications is not permitted to protect privacy. To facilitate a smooth application process, we encourage healthcare providers to send an email confirming receipt of their requests. Together, we strive to alleviate some of the burdens faced by families during these challenging times.
