CLEANING FOR MEANING
Lewisville, Texas resident Debbie Sardone wanted
to make life a little easier for women undergoing
cancer treatment, so she founded Cleaning for a
Reason, a national nonprofit that arranges up to
four, free professional house cleanings a year. Giving
the gift of a clean house may sound like a small
thing, but women suffering from cancer, who are
often exhausted by the treatment, are truly grateful
for the service.
Cleaning for a Reason relies on 975 partners
across the U.S. and Canada to volunteer their services.
And Brooklyn is doing its part. Denise Bogan
has always wanted to help other women, and by offering
the services of her Coney Island company,
Denton Cleaning, she can. “Being a mother and a
working woman is tough enough,” said Bogan. “Offering
to help women who are facing chemotherapy
or radiation treatment is just the right thing to do.”
Melinda Grant of Brite Touch Cleaning Service in Crown Heights was also quick to
volunteer the services of her company and she eagerly awaits her first appointment. Clean
Green Maid in Greenpoint is another Brooklyn cleaning service that volunteered to
partner with Cleaning for a Reason.
Signing up is easy. Those seeking the service fill out an application on the Cleaning
for a Reason website and submit proof of treatment from a physician. Cleaning for a
Reason then arranges for a cleaning service in your area to contact you.
