Cleaning for a Reason
Any excuse to use a retro image...
We all know the toll that cancer treatment takes on our bodies – we end up physically and mentally exhausted. All we want to do is crawl into bed and lay there until we can get our energy back. Housework is the last thing we want to face, and yet we often feel even more exhausted looking around us at all that needs to be done. So, if you are in this situation or know someone who is, check out the Cleaning for a Reason Foundation (USA only). This nonprofit offers four free cleanings – one a month for four months – to women undergoing treatment for cancer.
This is a terrific idea – one I could really have done with as I struggled through my treatment.

I could really do with this now, as I am half way through my chemo and yes, the housework is mounting and I am feeling overwhelmed by it. Thanks for posting.

Wouldn’t it be great if more cleaning companies adopted this as part of their CSR (if they have one!)

I was so lucky when I was going through my treatment – my lovely neighbor came in and cleaned for me once a week – she was an angel. It is this practical help that we really need – not sympathetic noises.

Agree with Shauna – people offering practical help is what we really need and she was lucky to have her angel of a neighbor to help her out.

Like, Breda above, I don’t have cancer but I would love to help out someone in this way. It’s such a simple thing that could be a huge help to someone. If anyone in this situation in the Limerick area wants me to do their hoovering (or whatever) for them leave a comment here and I’ll tick the “notify of follow up comments” button.
PS I’m a bit of a Monica from friends so I don’t need any reason to clean, I actually enjoy it!! 🙂
