Patches of Light is dedicated to supporting families in Storrs Mansfield, CT, who are navigating the challenging realities of catastrophic health issues and financial difficulties. Our mission focuses on providing essential assistance to families with children in need, offering help with utilities, housing costs, gas cards, and grocery cards to alleviate some of the burdens they face. To protect the confidentiality of our families, all applications must be submitted by hospital staff directly involved with the child's care, and families are not permitted to apply on their own. We recognize the importance of maintaining privacy and ensuring a streamlined process, so we encourage applicants to follow up with an email to confirm the receipt of their application, as this greatly aids in expediting assistance. At Patches of Light, we believe in the power of compassion and community, working diligently to bring light to families during their most trying times.
