OUR STORY

A Message from Our Founder, Kate Adah

Space for Hope Foundation was born from a place of compassion and a deep understanding of the transformative power of a welcoming, well-designed home.

With a professional background in interior design and real estate, I also have personal passion for creating environments that foster comfort, functionality, and peace of mind.

Throughout my career, I witnessed how a thoughtfully designed space could positively affect mental health, providing individuals and families with a sense of stability, pride, and hope. I also saw the disparities faced by low-income families and vulnerable individuals who often lack access to these benefits living in spaces that do not reflect their worth or support their well-being.

Motivated by these experiences, I founded Space for Hope Foundation to bridge that gap, combining my expertise in interior design with my desire to uplift others. Starting with small projects in my community, I began transforming spaces for families in need one home at a time.

Since then, Space for Hope Foundation has grown into a dedicated organization serving Hamilton and the Greater Toronto Area, touching the lives of countless individuals through the power of compassionate design. For me, this is more than a career it’s a mission to bring dignity, hope, and healing to those who need it most.

with this arrangement.”
