Cleaning For A Reason

Housekeeping Maid Easy is a proud partner of Cleaning For A Reason, offering free house cleaning for cancer patients in Indianapolis, Hamilton County, and Hendricks County.

What is Cleaning For A Reason?

Cleaning for a Reason is a non profit organization that provides free home cleaning to patients battling cancer. When cancer makes life at home difficult, there is a trusted network of residential cleaners, cleaning industry volunteers, and community volunteers that support cancer patients and their families. Housekeeping Maid Easy is proudly part of this network of partners.

What Does Cleaning For A Reason Do?

Cleaning For A Reason partners with professional cleaning companies throughout the United States and Canada that are insured and perform background checks on their cleaning technicians. Each company takes on 1 patient at a time and offers the patient 2 free house cleanings, that is, 1 cleaning a month for 2 consecutive months. Patient applications are submitted online and a physician’s verification of treatment is required. Patients are matched with an available maid service partner in their area. The program is zip code and capacity-driven.

Can Anyone Apply For A Free Cleaning?

If you are a woman 19 years of age or older, and you are undergoing cancer treatment, you can apply for free cleanings. Or you can nominate someone else that covers the requirements. Please be aware during the application process patient information such as email, name, address, and contact information is requested. There is also a release of liability waiver that needs to be approved. The last step is a physician must fax proof that the patient is currently in treatment for cancer. Cleaning For A Reason cannot call the physician’s office to verify treatment. Please receive permission from the patient prior to applying on her behalf.

Testimonials

Thank you for participating in Cleaning For A Reason. The service and kindness provided by Andrea , your schedulers, and your company has been very helpful during a difficult time. If we look for housekeeping services in the future, you are on our short list!

Cheryl Ingram

It was wonderful. I had just had a double mastectomy and was going through radiation, and I couldn't physically do anything. And it was wonderful that you guys came in, friendly, and wonderful and kind, you made everything shine and smell great. It was very uplifting. I was going through a depression, because I couldn't do anything and was feeling so helpless and you really helped turn that around.

Who qualifies for the service?

Women 19 years of age or older, currently undergoing treatment for any type of cancer

Why women only?

As with any nonprofit, the resources are limited. The demand is always greater than what the nonprofit can handle regardless as to whom they serve. Cleaning For A Reason understands that males undergo the same life crisis issues; however, we are not able to help everyone. Daily the nonprofit receives inquiries to assist individuals with disabilities, heart problems, MS, asthma, and various other chronic medical conditions, which all have a need for the services. Naturally, the list is endless. The hope of Cleaning For A Reason is that everyone understands that we have to stay focused on our primary mission, to provide women undergoing treatment for cancer with free house cleaning.
