Cleaning for a Reason

Amy's Green Cleaning, Inc.

Free Home Cleaning for Cancer Patients

When Amy’s dear friend was diagnosed with cancer, she found herself in the role of not only a patient, but also a caretaker of her mother—still showing up each day for her mother while navigating one of life’s most frightening and uncertain paths. Amy watched her friend juggle exhaustion, emotion, and fear, and felt the weight of wanting so badly to help—but not knowing how.


What do you do when you can’t fix the pain, can’t take away the diagnosis?


You do what you can.


Amy began showing up in the one way she knew she could—with her hands and her heart. She cleaned her friend’s home, quietly lifting one burden from her shoulders. She brought order to the chaos, creating a clean, restful space where both her friend and her friend’s mother could breathe, recover, and simply be. Her friend wanted to repay her, but Amy refused. That gift wasn’t about a transaction—it was about love, service, and presence.


Though Amy would later lose that friend, the experience left something lasting: a deeper understanding of how profound the “small things” really are. A clean home can’t cure illness—but it can ease the weight of a hard day. It can make space for dignity, for peace, and for healing.


When Amy later discovered Cleaning for a Reason, it was as if her path and her purpose aligned. There was no question—this was something she had to be part of. The heart of the program mirrored the heart of her business: to care, to connect, and to enrich the lives of others through meaningful service.


Cleaning for a Reason gives us something we truly treasure at Amy’s Green Cleaning: the opportunity to support local families during uncertain times. Offering free home cleanings to people undergoing cancer treatment allows us to extend care in a way that feels deeply personal.


There’s something profoundly human about stepping into a home during such a vulnerable moment. We move through each space with softness and respect, always mindful of the trust placed in us. For the families we help, it’s more than a cleaning. And for us, it’s more than a task—it’s a shared moment of compassion.


These cleanings bring our team even closer—each visit a shared effort, full of quiet teamwork and genuine care. Everyone contributes something essential to the experience, and that togetherness shapes how we work.


We’re focused on safety, grounded in integrity, and honored to be invited into these intimate spaces. And honestly, we leave these homes feeling just as deeply impacted as the people we clean for. It’s humbling. It’s real. And it’s something we’re incredibly grateful to be part of.
