Mrs. Linda Kung has been participating in volunteer service since 2007. In 2009, she was diagnosed with terminal cancer. During her battle with cancer, she deeply realised the preciousness of life and decided to live a more meaningful life for the rest of her days. Embracing the belief that “from now on, I’ll do as much as possible”, she helps others enthusiastically. In 2011, Mrs. Kung’s family became an emergency foster family and has welcomed 32 children to date. The role is to take care of infants who lack family love.
In 2014, she founded the ‘Lovecare Station,’ gifting second-hand items for free to the underprivileged community. Later, Mrs. Kung recognised that young people with Special Educational Needs (SEN) often face obstacles when looking for work. Therefore, she opened a physical store to sell the collected items. The income from the store is used to provide employment training, subsidies, and job opportunities, with the surplus donated to social welfare organisations.
The Kung family has received numerous awards with honors such as ‘Outstanding Family Volunteer’, ‘Gold Award for Long-term Service in Foster Care’ and ‘Excellent Individual Volunteer Award’ by the Social Welfare Department in 2024. She was also awarded with ‘Outstanding Volunteer’ by the Agency for Volunteer Service in 2023, and ‘Hong Kong Top Ten Quality Social Services’ by the Lions Clubs International District 303 – Hong Kong & Macao, China.”
