Maid Services 4U has teamed up with Cleaning For A Reason, an international nonprofit foundation that provides free housecleaning to women undergoing cancer treatment. Maid Services 4U, a cleaning company since 2009, began in Homestead, Florida, and is now in Miami Beach, Florida.

The company specializes in vacation rental properties and residential home cleanings dedicated to being YOUR BEST MAID EVER by providing reliable, honest, and trustworthy service.

Owner Carmen M. Flores states, Maid Services 4U has always been searching for a charity to volunteer my services with. One day while on Facebook, I saw a post and was immediately taken with Cleaning For A Reason. I was drawn to this foundation for the well-being and the charity toward those suffering with cancer and going through treatment. I am grateful to extend the services we have to offer and very proud to be an affiliate of such an amazing foundation that is here to help those in need.

Maid Services 4U has agreed to help women battling cancer by cleaning two homes per month for four consecutive months at no charge. The only requirement is that the homes be within the companys existing service area of Miami Beach, Bal Harbour, Surfside, Sunny Isles, and Aventura neighborhoods.

For more information, go to http://www.maidservices4u.com or call 561-577-9363.

Cleaning For A Reason strives to aid women who are battling cancer by teaming up with cleaning services across the United States and Canada. Together, these two forces offer free maid services to meet the needs of women, and since 2006, have donated more than $4.5 million in free services, helping more than 15,000 women with cancer. Based in Lewisville, TX, Cleaning For A Reason works with more than 1,100 residential cleaning services and continues to grow and gain support.

Maid Services 4U donates house cleaning to women fighting cancer

When she was diagnosed with breast cancer last year, Melissa Weir, a mother of three young children, thought she could keep up with household chores, even during chemotherapy and daily radiation treatments.

I thought I could handle everything, but the cleaning is really hard during treatment, when you're sick and fatigued, says Weir, 37, who underwent a mastectomy in June. Her cancer was discovered just after she had stopped nursing her youngest daughter, now 2.

Despite a positive outlook, Weir who faces more surgery in March says the pressures of managing her home in the New Homestead neighborhood of Pittsburgh left her feeling not just tired, but stressed. When she learned from a fellow chemo patient about Cleaning for a Reason, a Texas-based foundation that arranges free house cleaning for women with cancer, it seemed to be just what the doctor ordered, Weir says.

I didn't take advantage of a lot of services available to cancer patients, but this was one I definitely needed, says Weir, who contacted Cleaning for a Reason and was put in touch with Sheraden-based Mr. Maid Residential and Commercial Cleaning, one of three area companies that partner in the program.

Once a month, Mr. Maid's Amy Byard has cleaned Weir's home. The last of four visits the maximum number the program allows was in mid-October.

It's been wonderful, says Weir, whose oldest child is 5. I'll miss it tremendously.

Visits were the standard three hours, and would otherwise have cost $100, says Mr. Maid owner Jim Jones. In addition to absorbing the fee, he is required to make a monthly $15 contribution to the foundation, which handles applicant screening and referrals. Jones has handled up to three Cleaning for a Reason clients per month since he joined the program seven years ago. He says he and his staff have reaped unexpected rewards.

I first got into it because, as a new business, I wanted the publicity, but we never pursued that aspect, because we found that being in the program was rewarding enough, Jones says. We've had people cry when we call to schedule appointments. They'll say, I can't believe you're doing this.'

Byard calls the program's clients amazing. They're always asking if they can get me something, like a cold drink, says the Carrick resident. They'll tell me, You don't know how much this means.' It's a little heartbreaking when you know there are only four sessions, and you want to do so much more.

Founded in 2006 by Debbie Sardone, owner of a maid service in Lewisville, Texas, Cleaning for a Reason partners with 1,100 cleaning companies in the United States and Canada, which, so far, have provided $4.5 million worth of free cleaning to cancer survivors, according to the foundation's website.

It started with a phone call.

Years ago, Debbie Sardone, owner of Buckets & Bows Maid Service, got a call from a woman inquiring about a price quote for Sardone's cleaning service.

"I gave her our rates," she tells PEOPLE, "and she went, 'Oh I can't afford that, I'm undergoing cancer treatment' and hung up."

It was a literal wake-up call for Sardone.

"I sat there and realized I could have given her the cleaning for free, and I was disappointed it didn't occur to me until too late," she recalls.

"There's no way for me to call that first woman back," says Sardone, 55, of Flower Mound, Texas, explaining that it was in the days before caller ID.

"But she inspired me to change, inspired a policy that eventually became a nationwide nonprofit," she says.

That nationwide nonprofit is Cleaning for a Reason, an organization that provides housecleaning services free of charge to women battling cancer.

Since the organization was founded in 2006, more than 1,100 maid services across the nation and in Canada have signed up to dedicate their time to women in need.

"Maid-service owners have told us it's the most rewarding thing they've ever done in business," says Sardone.

TruBlue Total House Care to Serve Residents of Racine County

Cincinnati, OH (PRWEB) October 21, 2014

While just in their third year of franchising, TruBlue Total House Care has been recognized as one of USA Todays Top 50 Franchises for Veterans.

TruBlue specializes in providing complete house care, including maid services, home improvement, repair services, lawn care and more. TruBlue also works with real estate professionals, general contractors and property managers to maintain homes and rental properties, improve curb appeal, make final preparations to sell homes and more.

At the core of TruBlue, what we really are offering our customers is not only convenience, but time and lifestyle. In the same way, we want to give the same opportunity to our business owners, especially those who have dedicated their own time for military service, TruBlue COO Mark Cottle said.

We already have several of our great owners who are veterans. Not only are they great people, but they've found additional opportunities in networking groups and in their advertising to appeal to veteran friendly associations. In fact, in Virginia we have our owners Tim and Kay Diemont. Tim is also a veteran and they have negotiated to become a premier vendor for the Langley Airforce Base, performing cleaning, repairs and maintenance on military housing when personnel changes are made. That account alone has been a huge boon to the Diemont's annual revenue, Cottle added.

About a third of the current ownership team have military service. The leadership at TruBlue is continuously recruiting veteran franchise owners and even offers a discount for veterans on the cost to start a franchise.

A lot of military personnel are excellent at making the best of every situation while working within a system. Because of the stage of the business TruBlue is in with our young network, we need more people who can help us maximize and recognize additional opportunities - all while working within the boundaries of our brand image, Cottle said.

HUDSON A local business owner is giving back to the community by focusing on the needs of one woman at a time.

Jackie Chaves, who started her own cleaning business in 2003, is committed to helping other women clean their homes while they struggle with ongoing health problems.

For the fifth year, Jackies Clean Sweep of Hudson is partnering with Cleaning For A Reason, a foundation that focuses on providing free professional cleaning services for cancer patients undergoing treatment.

With October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Chaves is speaking out about her desire to simplify the hectic lifestyles of women with cancer.

Cleaning is such a great distraction, and when I am done, it is good to know that we have made someone happy and made them smile, Chaves said. It is a great satisfaction.

Chaves said she understands first hand how cancer can impact a persons ability to complete normal, everyday tasks such as cleaning. In 2009, her mother was sick with ovarian cancer, and was constantly undergoing treatments and attending doctor visits.

She was so tired a lot of the time, and I wasnt near her to help, said Chaves, who learned about Cleaning For A Reason and requested that her mother apply. Shortly after, Chaves decided that her own business would become a member of the Cleaning For A Reason team.

I know how difficult it was on my mother, and realized this was my chance to give back to the community. This provides my clients, who are such good people, with one less thing for them to worry about when they are ill, she said.

Typically, Chaves will allow four cancer treatment clients at a time. To date, she has assisted many sick clients, offering them free cleaning services while they focus on their health.

Two maids will spend about two hours at a time cleaning their homes, Chaves said, adding that bathrooms, kitchens, appliances and floors are cleaned.
