Shared Stephanie Dahm, co-owner and CEO of Mama Maids, “My mother bravely battled stage IV cancer, and through that journey, I witnessed firsthand the immense challenges that come with such a diagnosis—the exhaustion, the worry, and the overwhelming tasks that often fall by the wayside. That’s why we’re committed to easing that burden by providing free cleaning services. Cleaning for cancer patients has been life-changing for both the recipients and our team. Our cleaning patients are some of our favorite people in the world, and we are currently caring for a stage IV palliative care patient who has become part of our family and holds a special place in our hearts.” |
Mama Maids has been a premium Cleaning for a Reason partner since 2022, serving 24 cancer patients with donated cleanings valued at $10,099.
