Cleaning for a Reason Helps Cancer Patients for Free
The Cleaning for a Reason Foundation is a nonprofit agency that offers free professional housecleaning and maid services to women currently undergo- ing treatment for any form of cancer. Since 2007, the Texas-based group has been connecting cancer patients in all 50 United States and in Canada with hundreds of bonded and insured services that offer free cleaning to qualified applicants.
Women seeking household cleaning help can sign up online, backed by a faxed note from their physician. Participat- ing services can help two patients at a time with four monthly cleanings. Two to three dozen new agency partners are being added each month as word gets out and demand for the service grows.

Dolphin Friends
Call for More Humane Treatment
New research reveals that many modern dolphin brains are significantly larger than our own and second in mass to the human brain when corrected for body size. “Dolphins are so- phisticated, self-aware, highly intelligent beings with individual personalities, autonomy and an inner life,” said Lori Marino, an Emory University neuroscientist at a recent American Associa- tion for the Advancement of Science conference. Marino and other experts are concerned by, among other things, the growing industry of capturing and confining dol- phins, and then having them perform in marine parks or to swim with tourists at resorts. The approach is misinformed and needs to be reconsidered, she says, as “Dolphins are vulnerable to tremendous suffering and psychological trauma.” An earlier study indicated that dolphins’ self-awareness is similar to that in higher primates and elephants.
The recent Oscar-winning documentary, The Cove, ad- dresses the extremes human disregard for dolphin popula- tions can reach if left unchecked. Take Action by petitioning leaders in the U.S. and Japan to protect the world’s dolphins at

“Why do catastrophes sometimes strike groups of people; why must entire peoples suffer starvation and distress, physical or spiritual bondage? Again and again the question forces itself upon us: ‘Why?’”
