- [Narrator] Debbie Sardone has seen

how hard the battle against cancer can be,

especially when tryingto keep a clean house.

- When my mother was battling cancer

I saw first hand thedifficulty and the struggle

and I could only imagine

if she couldn't afford maid service,

her having to keep her own house clean,

it would've been out of the question.

- [Narrator] Debbie went on to start

her own cleaning business.

One day she answered a callthat would change her life.

- I took a call from awoman who was just inquiring

about pricing for cleaning her home

at my company, Buckets& Bows Maid Service,

and before she hung up the phone she said,

"I can't really afford that right now,

I'm going throughchemotherapy and radiation

and I'm not working."

And she hung up beforeit even occurred to me

that I could have offeredher the cleaning for free.

- [Narrator] That day Debbie implemented

a new policy in her company.

- No woman in my communitythat was battling cancer

would have to recover in a dirty house.

Here they are in a battle for their life

pushing a vacuum, scrubbing a toilet

is out of the question.

- [Narrator] The impact of her decision

didn't just affect her own business.

- I turned that company policyinto a nationwide nonprofit

and we began recruiting maid services

all over the United States and Canada

to also donate freecleanings in their community

to women battling cancer.

- [Narrator] With the helpof these maid services

women across the country arereceiving the help they need.

- I have seen something as simple

as a toilet brush change a life.

Walking into a clean homegives women strength and hope

so that they can focus on their health.

One particular woman, Carolyn, wrote us.

She said that her diagnosiswith cancer was so crushing

she did not believe she wasgonna to beat that disease.

And after walking into a clean home,

she said for the firsttime since her diagnosis

she felt control back in her life.

- [Narrator] For Debbie,

cleaning is more than just a business.

- I am so personallyenriched by making sure

that these women don't haveto come home to a dirty house

and several of them havebecome very personal friends

and it's an emotional relationship,

and it's really a spiritual relationship.

I'm helping them throughthis difficult time

and they're giving back tomy soul and feeding my soul

just by their friendship and their love.

You know, I feel like Cleaningfor a Reason is a calling.

When you're in businessobviously you spend your days

focusing on growing your business,

but I answer to God and Ianswer to a higher calling.

I think as Christians that is something

we all need to look for in our own lives

or in our own businesses,

is ways to serve others andto make their life better.
