At Patches of Light, we are dedicated to supporting families in Berlin, CT, who are navigating the challenges of catastrophic health issues and the associated financial burdens. Our compassionate team collaborates closely with medical professionals to provide vital financial assistance for essential needs such as utility bills, housing, gas cards, and grocery cards. We operate with a focus on confidentiality and respect; therefore, applications must be initiated by hospital staff familiar with the family's situation. Understanding the urgency of these requests, we encourage follow-up emails to ensure applications are received promptly, as processing can take 2-3 weeks. Our mission is to alleviate some of the overwhelming stress these families face by providing timely and effective support in their time of need.
