Fighting cancer
is difficult enough,
but living with it
is even tougher"


HISTORY & STATISTICS

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
Requests for cleaning services are screened and qualified through the Cleaning For a Reason Call Center. Approved requests are passed on to local chapters to initiate services.
LIMITATIONS

"You better believe the cleanings are a help; they've been great! The cleaning service was willing to come out any day and they were willing to help with anything I needed. Because of my treatment, it was a huge help not to have to use my right hand, too."
