Cleaning for a Reason: Non-profit Helps Women with Cancer

Fighting cancer is difficult enough, but living with it is even tougher. That’s where the Cleaning for A Reason Foundation steps in. This newly-formed nonprofit offers free, professional housecleaning from insured and bonded maid services to improve the lives of women undergoing treatment for any type of cancer. To be eligible to receive a free housecleaning one time per month for four months during treatment, a woman needs to fill out an online application and have her doctor fax verification that she is actively in treatment (but no medical history or diagnostic information is required). Currently, demand can exceed supply in a geographic location, but there are three companies listed in the immediate Nashville area. Cleaning for a Reason will have a participating maid service in the area arrange for a cleaning if space is available. For more information, go online to www.cleaningforareason.org.
