“There are few times in life when an organization so original, truly creative, or graceful comes along that you are drawn to. Cleaning For A Reason is this type of organization.” – Scott Kindberg, owner A Helping Hand.
Fighting cancer is difficult enough, living with it is even tougher…that’s where the Cleaning For A Reason Foundation steps in. Cleaning For A Reason is the only national non-profit in the country providing FREE, professional house cleaning services for women undergoing cancer treatment.
A Helping Hand Residential Cleaning Professionals, LLC has partnered with Cleaning For A Reason. We are Madison, Wisconsin’s first and only Chapter for Cleaning For A Reason.
Debbie Sardone, Founder of Cleaning for a Reason Foundation, said, “Maid services have been doing this in small ways for years. Our Partners have had a hard time turning down a woman who needs her house cleaned when she is battling cancer and cannot afford a maid service. I decided to form a foundation so that we could extend support across the entire country.”
To date Cleaning For A Reason has…
