What does Cleaning For
A Reason do?
We partner with professional residential maid services who are
insured and/or bonded and perform background checks on their
employees to participate in our foundation. The companies have
agreed to take 2 patients at a time and offer four free cleanings –
one a month for four months as a way to give back to their
community. We accept cancer patient applications online, receive
doctor’s verification of treatment and match the patients with our
partner maid services.
Who
qualifies for the service?
Women 18 years of age or older, currently undergoing cancer
treatment for any type of cancer.
Why women only?
We do provide this service only to
females with any type of cancer. As with any nonprofit organization,
the resources are limited. The demand is always greater than what we
are capable of handling regardless as to whom we serve. We
understand that males undergo the same life crisis issues; however,
we cannot serve everyone. Daily we have 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. We hope you understand
that we have to stay focused on what we have decided to be our
primary mission.
I am a Cancer
Patient – how do I register?
Step 1 – Check under the “Locations Tab” on our website to see if we
have a partner in your area. Our maid service partners are local
businesses that serve their business area. Typically, they will
travel approximately 10-15 miles from their business location.
Step 2 – If there is a maid service in your area, register by clicking the “Cancer Patient” tab. We accept 50 applications Monday through Thursday at 12 noon Central time. Fill out the online application. After you have successfully completed the application, a screen will display informing you that we need a doctor verification sent to our facility. The fax number where to be sent will display. Also, request that the doctor’s office type your name on the form.
Our maid service partners agree to take a minimum 2 patients at a time and clean once a month for four months. After your application is complete and your doctor verification is received, we will contact the maid service partner in your area. If they are available, to take you, they will contact you to schedule your cleanings. If they are not available and are currently servicing the maximum number of patients already, you will receive an email from us informing you that you will have to reapply at a later date.
Also, we add approximately 25 – 35 new partners
each month. If you do not see your area currently covered, check
back periodically. The website is updated twice a week and is
accurate.
Where are you located?
The foundation headquarters is located in Lewisville, TX.
We have maid service partners located in all 50 states, D.C. and
Canada. Check to see if we have a maid service partner in your area
by clicking the “Locations” tab on our website. The application
process is handled through our website, not through our partner
locations. Please do not contact the maid service partner directly.
We handle the application process on their behalf.
Can I
register for someone else?
When the online application process is open, we ask for patient
information such as name, address, and contact info. We also ask
basic house information such as size, number of rooms, etc. There is
also a release of liability waiver that needs to be approved. The
last step is a doctor must fax proof of the patient being in current
cancer treatment. As long as you have this information, you can
register for someone else. Cleaning For A Reason cannot call the
doctor’s office to verify treatment.
I want to
volunteer?
We do not use volunteers for our services. We partner with maid
services that are insured and/or bonded and perform background
checks on their employees. Our corporate headquarters is in
Lewisville, TX and we do use volunteers at our facility. If you are
not located in the Lewisville, TX area, contact one of our
partners in your area and volunteer to do fundraisers, office work,
etc. Our partners are listed under the “Locations Tab”
I am a Cancer
Center – Can I get some brochures to place in our lobby?
We are just over 4 years old and while our partner maid services
are increasing at a rate of approximately 25 – 35 new maid services
each month, we are unable to handle the daily volume that comes in
at this time. Because the demand for our services is so great, we
request that you NOT publish information regarding our services. Our
maid service partners agree to take a minimum of two patients at a
time and give 4 free cleanings, one a month for four months.
Therefore, patient expectation has to be managed. Until we become
larger, increase our staff, increase the number of maid services
that participate, and receive additional funding, we need to
maintain a small profile. Our goal is to expand our services as
fast as we can, but until then we hope you understand our limited
resource standing.
How can I donate
financially?
We rely on donations to grow and advance our foundation. We
accept donations via PayPal at cleaningforareason.org under the
“Donations” tab. We also accept checks at our Cleaning For A Reason
headquarters: P.O. Box 146; Lewisville, TX 75077.
