Women undergoing chemo have access to free housecleaning service

If you or someone you care about is struggling with cancer and going through chemotherapy, you know that sometimes just getting out of bed takes every ounce of energy. So it’s very unlikely you’re going to get any cleaning chores done around the house.

But now you don’t have to–at least not if you’re a woman.

Cleaning for a Reason provides free housecleaning service once each month for four months while a patient is in treatment. Women receiving chemo can sign up on the organization’s website at cleaningforareason.org. (I’m not sure why it’s only available to women. I guess they assume we do all the cleaning.)

After someone at CfaR contacts the patient’s doctor to confirm that chemo is underway, a local cleaning service is contacted. All participating services are insured and/or bonded.

CfaR currently has more than 800 cleaning service partners all across the U.S. and Canada.

This is a great service that would be a huge relief for any woman struggling with chemo, so please forward this message to everyone you know so we can help get the word out about Cleaning for a Reason.
