CLEANING FOR A REASON

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Real Estate Consultants CA DRE #01147426

I received the following notice the other day and checked it out on SNOPES. This is true and I thought it was worth “passing on.”

“If you know any woman currently undergoing chemotherapy, please pass the word to her that there is a cleaning service that provides FREE housecleaning - once per month for 4 months while she is in treatment.

All she has to do is sign up and have her doctor fax a note confirming the treatment.

Cleaning for a Reason, a non-profit organization, will have a participating maid service in her zip code area arrange for the service. This organization serves the entire USA and Canada….and currently has 547 partners to help these women.

Unfortunately, at the moment, I did not see they had partners in the desert, but you may know someone undergoing chemotherapy in another area who could greatly benefit from their services.

It's our job to pass the word and let them know there are people out there that care. Be a blessing to someone and pass this information along.” As a (4) time cancer survivor myself, I wish I had known of an organization like this to have helped me out while undergoing treatment. It would have made life a lot easier, because chemotherapy just zaps the strength out of you, and it’s impossible to do many of the things we take for common at times like this.

Thank You, Cleaning For a Reason for all your “good work!” To learn more about this organization, just go to this link and see how you might want to get involved. http://www.cleaningforareason.org/.

IMPORTANT: If you or someone you know is interested in buying or selling a home, try searching properties on the same MLS Realtor’s use, or give me a call….or visit my website at Palm Springs Real Estates. I will be happy to give you or your referral my “red carpet service.” After the sale, I will send you a $50 Gift Certificate towards dinner so you can celebrate!

Nancy, this is great information.  There are many great organizations that provide this service and so many others (meals, rides to and from chemo, bill paying assistance, etc.).  Folks should contact their local cancer society to see what is available.  The Red Devils or local moms groups are a great resource.  Often there are folks willing and able to help, but they just don't know what you need.

"If you ever need anything, call me".  There should be a list of things you might not even realize you need-house cleaning, meals, kids play dates, outings, rides-just hand it over and ACCEPT the help!

Keep the good fight, and keep spreading the word!  Many blessings on your continued good health!

Hi Nancy -- What a great service this organization provides.  As independent contractors in the real estate industry, we have many choices available to us regarding how we choose to run our businesses -- this is another reminder that each of us can help others -- we just need to put our minds to it.
