Alpena business helps cancer patients with home cleaning

Governor Gretchen Whitmer has made a proclamation that will help cancer patients in Michigan. The governor declared April 18–24 cleaning for a reason week so people with the disease can get help at home.

Tara Stone, owner of Your Girl Friday LLC received the proclamation from Governor Whitimer, and is already springing into action.

“We just received a proclamation from the mayor of Alpena as well as the governor of Michigan declaring April 18th through the 24th national cleaning for a reason week.”

Stone says, for her, acknowledgement of this week hits close to home.

“Six years ago my aging parents were having issues in their own health, you know, trying to help them with things in and around the house. Two years ago I started my business and it’s grown really well and we partnered with cleaning for a reason and I feel it’s very important. We do have family that has survived cancer and I know what its like, you know, seeing them go through cancer treatments and stuff like that. ”
