“A lovely and worthwhile thought, Thank you.
Why only Cancer patients? ... just out of curiousity”
I agree with the sentiment Great Project.
Why only WOMEN? ... just out of curiousity
My guess would be that 1). Chemotherapy knocks the immune system down a lot, so they are offering to do it because a dirty house could be a real danger to a chemo patient.
And 2). Women are usually the ones who clean house, so when the one who cleans can’t, replacing her for a short while makes a certain sort of sense.
Or maybe it’s because the people cleaning have been touched by woman-dominant cancers. Of the charities I donate to, one of them is related to breast cancer, which is a women-dominant cancer (though men can and do get it). It seems to bother some that campaigns focus so much on women, but I’m not going to apologize for it. Breast cancer has taken too many of my friends, associates and family members.
Ask them, I’m just the messenger.
They are a charitable volunteer group. One would think they help who they want to, for their own reasons. Are you suggesting that they be required to do otherwise?
