Walls of Hope is a charitable organization that helps families by transforming their living space through the efforts of volunteers and donors. The goal is to bring hope to these families by giving them a clean, uplifting environment to live in.  The pride this fosters in their surroundings transfers to other areas of their life.

Karen O’Connell is one of the founders of Walls of Hope.  Along with Sera Mansueto of The Art of Paint, Walls of Hope was founded in August 2005 to help families in the Oakville, Mississauga, and Burlington area.
