Anderson(A): The CNN Hero of the Year is Liz McCartney. Do you feel like a hero?
McCartney(M): 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 a tribute to everybody’s efforts. A: What do you think the people in St. Bernard Parish think when they see this and hear that you won?
M: Well , I, I hope they are honored, you know, this award is really about them and their families and their communities and get 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 is family, and homes and communites.
A: Do you think this is a reminder to a lot of folks there of , there is still a lot of work that needs to be done there?
M: 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’d like to do tonight is to dedicate this award to everybody in the New Orleans area that was affected by this storm.
A: What’s it been like being here on this night, I mean, you have celebrities, you know, talking about you and this award and your picture being taken, is it surreal?
M: It’s totally weird. You know I am, I am used to, like, walking around in jeans and T-shirts.
A: All of our heroes got 25 ,000 dollars, you got this year’s CNN Hero of the Year Award that’s an additional 100,000 dollars. Do you think what you plan to do with the money?
M: Oh, absolutely, we are rebuilding another ten families’ homes, with that money, yeah, so it’s going right back into the community.
