Cleaning For A Reason
Not too long, I found out about an organization called 'Cleaning For A Reason'. It is a national non-profit organization that co-ordinates people who are receiving treatment for Cancer with maid/cleaning services. If you are accepted, and there is a maid/cleaning service in your area, you receive 4 general house cleanings.
I had tried to apply several times, to no avail. The application process is only open Monday thru Thursday starting at 12 noon Central Time, and they close the application process after they have gotten 50 applications on that day. After being reminded about the program by someone I work with, I tried again and got in. I sent in my application, and was notified that it may take 2 weeks or more to get a reply, due to the high volume of applications.
Within a week of submitting my application, I received an email letting me know that Cleaning For A Reason was matching my accepted application with a local maid/cleaning service. Within a couple of days, I got a call from Custom Maid to set up an appointment for them to come to the house and discuss their services. They were at the house on Monday, of this week. I have been accepted and have scheduled my first cleaning of 2 weeks. That will give me time recover from my last treatment. Speaking of which, I am having my last treatment as I type this entry. My sister from Omaha is here to be with me and she is kind enough to let me borrow her laptop.
More about the last treatment later.

Many congrats and a general "YAY!" for having finished the treatments. And especially that the treatments have been so successful!!!
Hope the cleaning thing goes well. Do you think they'd come over for a person whose SISTER was having treatments? (I expect they would, if I held out a fat check for them...)
