Testimonials

"I want to thank the wonderful, polite maids [The Maids Home Services of Concord, CA] who came and cleaned for me. They did a wonderful, thorough job, and I am so pleased. They came 4 times. I am 90 years old and really needed the help with cleanings. Whoever thought of this program, I want to thank them for this wonderful service." ~Rena, Pleasant Hill, CA

"I am really sad to say that Ms. Patty passed away before we could finish her gift [of four housecleanings]. The family thanked us and allowed us to clean one last time for them after the funeral as our gift to a grieving family. It was really difficult for us and our cleaners because we fell in love with her. This foundation is one that touches us all to the core. I am so blessed to be a part of it!" LA Martin, Territory Manager, Two Maids & A Mop, Nashville, TN

Thank you for the service you provide!" Laurel, Shoreview, MN

"Of all the wonderful support and services I received during chemo last summer, yours was my favorite. I scheduled my cleanings [with Merry Maids of Woodbridge, VA] on the same days as treatments... I can't tell you how nice it was to come home to a professionally cleaned house after a loooooong day in the chemo chair. Can't thank you enough!" Katherine, Montclair, VA

I wanted to share an email from a patient. Thank you for bringing us together. This is a wonderful reminder of WHY we love to be a part of your organization and give back to our local community. "I am soooo happy!!! The cleaner did an awesome job and she is delightful and very professional. I keep walking around looking at how clean things are and saying WOW! I am so grateful that you have provided this service, and appreciate it immensely. Now the feeling of everything slipping away from me has abated (for a week or so anyway :). My husband saw the results from the cleaners hard work and was happy too. From the depths of my heart, thank you! I am looking forward to the next three visits, and hopefully by the end of the 4 months working with your group , we'll be in a much better place and I can feel ok about things again." Owner Jamie Rohrbauck, Dust and Mop, Apex, NC

"I was blessed to have Cleaning For A Reason [and Life Maid Easy in Phoenix, AZ] during the last part of my treatment for breast cancer... their service is amazing... they are sensitive to your needs. In December, they came while I was having a garage sale... When they left... they left with a part of me... Thank you !!!!! XOXO" Cindy, Phoenix, AZ

"One of the ladies I cleaned for lost her battle to cancer. I enjoyed my time with her and her husband of 49 years. I loved looking at their photos and catching a glimpse of how happy they were before cancer. I don't think they benefited from me as much as I did from them. The best thing we have to give is our time regardless of how hard it may be it is precious and valuable. I was reminded each time I was there about what is truly important in life. She was visibly hurting and I know now she is pain free and resting in peace. Thank you for creating this wonderful organization. When I spoke to Frank today, he thanked me and also wanted to thank this organization." Cindy, A Breath of Fresh Air Cleaning Services, Oceanside, CA

"Now we have two cancer patients that we are providing free cleanings for four months. One of the patients resides in Paragould and homeschools her daughters who help some around the house. However, she did not want to burden her 14 year old daughter with more responsibilities so she contacted us. When Cleaning For A Reason contacted me last week about this patient I did not know if I was going to accept her as my client because of the distance. I felt that I needed to do it, so I did and it feels good to serve others that are in need. As I was helping my team today I had tears rolling down my checks. I pray to God to restore my client's health. Before we left I received a hug and a smile that warmed my heart." Sols Cleaning Team, Jonesboro, AR

"Yesterday I received an email from Shelly at Cleaning For A Reason with the happy news that I had been matched to a local maid service. I could hardly believe what I read! What a huge gift this is for me, since me and my husband are both being treated for cancer and lately he has not been able to do much around the house. The timing couldn’t have been better. I hardly know where to begin to thank you. This is so very helpful to me and I truly appreciate what you have done for me. I am very grateful to Cleaning For A Reason and all that your organization does. You’re a real blessing. Thank you!" Patti, Barberton, OH

"I want to let you know that one of the referrals I made from Fairview Hospice was so elated with your program that this couple requested that I pass this along.  They want to thank Cleaning for a Reason and Merry Maids for the cleaning that they received the other day.  They stated that their home absolutely shined after the cleaning team left.

The owners were amazing – I believe we made some lifelong friends!" Misty Cedar Park, TX.

"I just wanted to write and tell you how wonderful it has been to receive help with the house cleaning while undergoing treatments. Your organization is to be commended for such a valuable outreach.

I had a lung biopsy and then a wedge of lung was removed.  I found out about X-Treme Clean from the Fitzpatrick Cancer Center.  They have cleaned my home for FREE four times and what a huge help.  The vacuuming alone was a godsend.  After the operation I couldn't use my right arm.  They did the cleaning with smiles and pleasant attitudes.  I would definitely recommend them to all.  Thank you X-Treme Clean for your help!" Diane, Plattsburgh, NY

"I want to thank you very much for the thoughtful and helpful service you provide. The company providing the cleaning in our area is called The Maids. They were at our home providing their cleaning services last month and again just yesterday, Friday, May 20th. The company could not be more helpful or compliant in their scheduling, and especially with the care they provide when working in a room my wife happens to be in at the time when they are cleaning. My wife now takes chemo treatments 1 out of every 4 weeks. Yesterday was the 5th day of this month treatment, and she was just too exhausted to move out of the bedroom, while they were there. They were very pleasant, speaking with her and making her feel comfortable, not awkward." Steven, PA

"I came home last evening to a new home, and it lifted my spirits. Thank You so much for thinking of us and arranging the cleaning. The whole idea is valuable to ailing families, and it's great that you have joined with the foundation, Cleaning For A Reason." Alice & Knute

"This is to let you know what a wonderful couple of women came a couple of months ago to clean my home. They were from Total Profection Cleaning. They were such wonderful people and did a fantastic job cleaning my home. I was pretty okay by the time I got them, so I didn't ask for them to come back, because I thought they could be used by another cancer patient that needed them more than I did. Boy, I could have really used them in the Spring!! I am happy to say my last PET Scan showed no sign of cancer. But... you have to keep on guard! Thank you so very much for sending these ladies my way. I can highly recommend them and your service also. With warmest regards." Jo Ann, Tallahassee, FL

May God bless you and all connected with this wonderful SERVICE TO MANKIND! It makes life's journey easier, with profound gratitude and respect."

"Just wanted you to know your girls did great yesterday!! The house looks great, and I think they were only mildly annoyed with the size of the house!! J/k... But seriously, I did want to let you know that I do realize how huge this house is...far larger than anything I would ever buy!...and knowing that I'm getting a great deal for 4 cleanings, I didn't want them to do more time or work than you had originally anticipated for them doing for this type of situation. So please let them know it's totally fine to stop whenever they need to. I have the hardest time keeping the bathrooms and floors clean, past that my husband can help pitch in when needed. Again, thank you!! This is a God send!! Bless you!" Debi, MO

"I just want to advise you that My Luxury Maids recently donated 4 complimentary home cleaning services through your organization and it was so gratifying. They were professional from start to finish. The owner, Silvia Torres-Timoteo, promptly scheduled the appointments, followed up each cleaning with a personal call to ensure that everything was done properly and if there were any concerns. The women arrived promptly, were dressed in professional uniforms and were an absolute blessing. I will continue to use their services as I am still recovering from my double mastectomy and reconstruction and am extremely satisfied with their service. I cannot say enough wonderful things and I appreciate all that your organization and My Luxury Maids have done for me during my recovery." Jane, Jupiter, FL

"I am writing to thank you all for the great service you provide. Over the last four months I had Star Cleaning System in Laguna Niguel, CA, provide complimentary cleaning for me (arranged through your organization), while I have been undergoing treatment for breast cancer.

"Ms. Tooley, I just wanted to express my sincere thanks for the 4 cleanings that you awarded me during my cancer treatments.

"I want to thank JoAnn's Professional Touch for all the kindness and consideration shown to me during my cancer treatment and recovery time through Cleaning For A Reason. The girls would show up every week with a heart full of cheer and clean my house, do errands or whatever I needed. I was treated like a queen by cheerful, loving women. This certainly has been a big help in my recovery process. Being in a clean and orderly environment enhances healing. Please accept my heart-felt appreciation for the care and happiness you gave to me during a very difficult time in my life." Mary, Toledo, OH

"I am a single mother of two young children, ages 8 and 11. My recent diagnosis of cancer and the upcoming chemo and radiation was a devastating blow to all three of us. One of my main concerns was how I would continue to be the type of mom I've always been, and have the energy to maintain all the other issues of being a homeowner. I've had friends step forward and offer to do my spring gardening, bring/purchase meals, mowing/trimming/fertilizer but I knew I just couldn't possibly keep up with the cleaning. And then my friend John told me about you; what a Godsend! Truly, you are a blessing to the many women who are dealing with just these same issues. This organization is a wonderful gift to those of us who struggle just to make it through each day, and still have the energy to be the best possible Momma we can be. God bless you all!" Sara, Lincoln, NE

"I would like to let you know it has been wonderful to have workers come in from Clean & Simple Cleaning to clean my house. After each chemo treatment, I am in a great deal of pain. Chemo also zaps energy. So the last thing you want to do is clean house. This is a wonderful idea to go out and help cancer patients. Thanks so much." Renae

"I wanted to write and thank you for this incredible blessing. I cried and hugged the women who came to help me... it is a huge burden lifted. Words cannot express how grateful I am. The service assigned to me was Home Sweet Home in Pasadena, California. They did an amazing job!" Joyce
