Love Yourself First, Then All Is Well – ChickenSoup Foundation

Ling had to deal with her ex-husband’s gambling issues and mounting debts which drained their family’s savings. After many broken promises, Ling decided to leave with her son and end their ten-year marriage in 2023, which led her into deep depression. With ChickenSoup Foundation’s support, Ling realised how true happiness comes from within and that inner abundance is their greatest wealth. Now, she advocates for community benefits, hoping to spread positive energy.
