WHO WILL HELP?

For the past several years my wife and I have made a decision to contribute to several worthwhile causes at Christmas time rather than buy each other a gift. We have really enjoyed doing this and hopefully it has helped people that need help in one form or another.

This year one of the causes we contributed to was CLEANING FOR A REASON, the organization that provides free house cleaning for those women who are fighting cancer. It is just one way to help them so they don't have to worry about cleaning while they have a much bigger job to concentrate on---THEIR HEALTH AND GETTING BETTER.

As a cancer survivor myself and with a sister who has battled and beaten breast cancer it just seems natural for my wife and me to want to help. How about you? Do you know a mother or sister or daughter, or wife or friend that is battling that dreaded disease? Think of the relief if they don't have to worry about the house cleaning. Since we are in the cleaning business in one fashion or another it just seems natural for us to help.

Since 2006, Cleaning For a Reason has partnered with a network of more than 1,000 residential cleaning services and helped over 17,000 women with cancer. This year alone, 2013, it is estimated by the American Cancer Society that more than 800,000 women will receive an initial cancer diagnosis. That is an astounding number so you can see the tremendous need that exists.

Unfortunately, the number of women needing help far exceeds the current resources available. That's why CLEANING FOR A REASON needs your and my help NOW. At this time of giving thanks and holiday blessings, it just seems appropriate that we give the gift of joy, healing, and hope to women struggling with cancer, one clean home at a time.

I want to ask WILL YOU HELP?  Let me suggest you go to their web site at www.cleaningforareason.org and make a healthy contribution to help not so healthly women. Or if it is easier for you, just call them at 1.877.337.3348.  Residential cleaning companies can offer their services, BSC's can offer dollars and/or supplies to help. I hope you will be inclined to help this worthy cause.

As 2013 comes to a close I want to wish all of our readers and supporters in other ways a Blessed Christmas and a very Happy New Year. I sincerely appreciate the tremendous support Consultants In Cleaning, LLC has received this year. We far exceeded our goals for the year and have several exciting new things in the works for 2014.

Till next time and THANKS.
