FLOW HOME CLEANING PARTNERS WITH A NONPROFIT
Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada – January 4, 2014 – Flow Home Cleaning is a locally-owned business that has teamed up with Cleaning For A Reason, an international nonprofit foundation. Flow Cleaning is dedicated to being Fredericton’s favorite home cleaning service by offering consistent, professional, and friendly customer service. Flow wants their clients to come home to a fresh, perfectly clean home and to feel their stress melt away as they step in the door. The service is personalized and clients are guaranteed 100 percent happiness and satisfaction. The staff at Flow are covered by company-funded health benefits plan and protected by WorkSafe NB. Owner Monica Danielski wants Flow Home Cleaning to be seen as a company that cares for their clients, their staff, and also their community in which they live.
Danielski states, “I could not imagine how overwhelming and difficult it would be to undergo cancer treatments, while at the same time have to take care of your family and home. It might sound small to some, but we strongly believe that having a clean home can make a difference. In the past we have cleaned for clients dealing with critical illness and they told us we helped to make their home a place to heal and invite others in. Dealing with illness can also be an isolating experience and many clients said that our visits were the highlight of their week. We are so pleased to be joining with Cleaning For A Reason who will help us connect with women facing incredibly difficult times. We are hoping that the donated cleanings will make their lives just a little easier.”
Cleaning for a reason
The company 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 company’s existing service area of Fredericton and surrounding areas. For more information about this company, go to www.flowcleaners.com.
Cleaning For A Reason strives to aid women who are battling cancer by teaming up with professional cleaning companies across the United States and Canada. Together, these two forces offer free house cleaning to meet the needs of women, and since 2006, have donated more than $4.6 million in free services, helping more than 16,000 women with cancer. Based in Lewisville, TX, Cleaning For A Reason works with more than 1,200 residential cleaning companies and continues to grow and gain support. To learn more about Cleaning For A Reason and to apply for free house cleaning, see www.cleaningforareason.org.

12-hours-Poster-2014-2
Youth in Transition Fredericton: http://yitfredericton.ca/
The number and proportion of young Canadians without adequate and secure housing has increased during the last two decade. Despite overall gains which have improved the lives of youth, youth between the ages of 16 and 19 who lack family support remains a group at risk of developing significant problems in their physical and mental health. Additionally, they are at risk of becoming homeless.
Youth In Transition addresses the needs of at-risk or homeless youth by offering supportive living arrangement in conjunction with a program aimed at increasing their self-esteem and independent living skills. Our residence, Chrysalis House, is a place where personal safety and accessibility to employment, education, and health care are met within a nurturing family-like setting. By modelling a stable home setting where each individual is treated with dignity and respect, Youth In Transition is attempting to reach some of New Brunswick’s lost youth.

You can become involved by:
