Cleaning for a Reason

This crossed my radar this morning by appearing on my Snopes page as true, so I thought I'd pass it on, in case you or someone you know could use the service:

"Fighting cancer is difficult enough, but living with it is even tougher - and that's where the Cleaning for A Reason Foundation steps in. This newly formed nonprofit offers free professional housecleaning, and maid services to improve the lives of women undergoing treatment for cancer - any type of cancer. " (From their website)

Thanks to m_stiefvater for bringing the following video to my attention. It's some of the best 16 minutes I ever spent online in my life and I was grinning ear to ear and teary eyed by the end of it. Completely safe for work, though you will need sound and a bit of time to watch it.

Because, sometimes, you get to pay it back, too.

As some of you may know, our dear friend rowangolightly is preparing to relocate to Kansas City due to some unforseen circumstances. There are expenses that have come up that have blindsided her, and she's in a bit of a pickle. She is the incredibly kind woman who raised money for me when I was completely devastated this summer by car trouble...she (and through her all of you) worked a miracle in my life, and now we have the chance to do it again.

I am humbly asking you to go visit the new community I just made:

rescue_rowan

and see if there is any way you can help, by donating an object or service for sale or auction, by donating directly, by shopping, or by spreading the word. I would like to raise enough to cover her expenses and give her a bit of a cushion to begin her new life with, thus lessening the burden on all involved.

I am putting it in a seperate community to make it easier to spread and share, so that as many people as possible can be given the opportunity to help.

Thank you all.
