Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Winsted, CT who are experiencing financial difficulties due to catastrophic health challenges faced by their children. We understand that during these tough times, financial burdens can add to the stress, and that's why we offer assistance through various means, including utility payments, housing support, gas and grocery cards. Our application process, which must be initiated by hospital staff working alongside the affected family, takes about 2-3 weeks to review. To ensure confidentiality and the utmost accuracy, we strictly adhere to a protocol that limits direct communication with applicants or their families regarding the status of requests. To streamline the process, we encourage each healthcare worker to follow up applications with an email confirmation, as this helps us verify receipt and efficiently manage the assistance required. Together, we strive to bring light and relief to those who need it most during their most challenging moments.
