BURNELL COTLON (NEW ORLEANS)

For the last 10 years, Burnell Cotlon has been a staple in New Orleans' Lower 9th Ward. After Hurricane Katrina wiped out all viable businesses in the town, Burnell invested his life savings into building a grocery store - "Burnell's 9th Ward Grocery." As the only grocery store within a 5-mile radius, Burnell continues to service his customers who have been struck with massive layoffs, including donating food to those in need. His life mission is to get the Lower 9th Ward back on par with the rest of New Orleans.

ATHENA HAYLEY (LOS ANGELES)

After overcoming homelessness, Athena Hayley, who goes by her last name, set out on a mission to help others who found themselves in a similar situation.
