July 13 (Day 135) Cleaning For A Reason

Today's post hits home for me... having several families members who have battled cancer. Having watched as my mom and sister battled breast cancer, I know just how debilitating this disease can be.  While undergoing treatment, you still have to function as normally as possible.  Many women still have to work, still have to manage their families and continue to run a household .... all while feeling like they have been run over by a freight train.  Today's charity tries to help women alleviate a little bit of the daily worry and focus on getting better.  What an awesome way to make a difference! 

Cleaning for A Reason knows that fighting cancer is difficult enough, but living with it is even tougher - and that's where the Cleaning for A Reason Foundation steps in. This nonprofit offers free professional housecleaning, and maid services to improve the lives of women undergoing treatment for cancer - any type of cancer. The foundation headquarters is located in Lewisville, TX. and has maid service partners located in all 50 states, D.C. and Canada.  


The need is always greater than the resources and Cleaning for a Reason is always in need of additional partners.  Do you operate a Maid Service, or know of a Maid Service who is looking for a way to give back to their community? Please consider becoming a partner with Cleaning for a Reason.  Fill out the online form and they will contact you. You must be insured and/or bonded and do background checks on employees.  Here is what one of the partner maid services had to say about their experience:

We serviced a client’s home today and never get used to the humbling feeling when [she] walks thru with us and praises our services and tells us how awesome we are… I quietly think to myself “how brave you must be and how strong a person to persevere through your fight… we are simply trying to make your day a little better… you are the awesome one.”
