About Us (wGF)
Who We Are
World Grace Foundation Inc., founded by U.S. Navy veteran Laurence Chia, is dedicated to helping veterans living with PTSD heal and thrive through the power of music therapy.
As a U.S. Navy veteran, Laurence Chia has firsthand experience with the challenges faced by those who have served our nation. His dedication fuels World Grace Foundation Inc.’s mission to empower veterans living with PTSD through therapeutic music programs that promote healing, resilience, and hope. By providing veterans with access to music therapy, we create a safe and supportive space where they can reduce stress, rebuild confidence, and reconnect with others who understand their journey.
But our commitment doesn’t stop there—together, through the universal language of music and the strength of community, we can make a lasting impact in the lives of America’s heroes.
Our Mission
Our Vision & Programs
Healing veterans with PTSD through music, resilience, and community support.
Our music therapy program is designed specifically for veterans living with PTSD, offering a proven path to emotional healing and resilience. Through individual and group music therapy sessions, veterans gain a safe and supportive space to process trauma, reduce stress, and reconnect with others who understand their journey. By using the healing power of music, we help veterans build strength, improve mental health, and find hope on the road to recovery.
Our Founder
Laurence Chia founded World Grace Foundation in 2023, inspired by his own life experiences and a deep passion for helping others. As a U.S. Navy veteran, Laurence understands the unique challenges many veterans face when transitioning to civilian life, especially those living with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
His background in youth ministry, international outreach, and service as a worship leader has given him a unique perspective on the healing power of music and community. Beyond leading, Laurence is also a songwriter who creates uplifting music and collaborates with other veterans, using shared creativity as a tool for connection, resilience, and recovery.
Today, that vision drives our mission: to empower veterans through music therapy, helping them build resilience, find peace, and thrive beyond service.

“Music gave me peace when nothing else could. Now, I share that gift with other veterans so they, too can heal, find hope, and thrive beyond service.”
