Do you feel like a hero?

No, I mean I'm surrounded by amazing people every single day, Anderson. People who are really, really strong and amazingly hardworking, so I don't, I mean I think this award is, again, really attribute to everybody's efforts.

What do you think people in St. Bernard Parish are gonna think when they when they see this and hear that you won?

Well, I,I hope they are honored, you know, this award is really about them and their families and communities and getting them back to where they were before the storm.

When you are in an area where people have suffered so much loss, you realize what's really important and what’s really important is family, and homes and communities.

Do you think this is a reminder to a lot of folks that of, that there are still a lot of work that needs to be done there?

I surely hope so, I hope the message is loud and clear, that while we are making a lot of progress thanks to all the help that we’ve received, there’s still a long way to go.

What I like to do tonight is to dedicate this award to everybody in the New Orleans area that was affected by this storm.

What is it being like being here on this night, I mean, you have celebrities, you know talking about you, and this crowd and your picture being taken, is it surreal?

It’s totally weird, you know I mean I am used to like walking around in jeans and T shirts.

All of our heroes got 25,000 dollars, you are the CNN hero the year of the award, there’s an additional 100,000 dollars. Do you know what you plan to do with the money?

Oh, absolutely, we are rebuilding another ten families’ homes, with that money, yeah, so it’s going to right back into community.
