CNN Hero of the Year is an award that this news network gives as a recognition for people that do great social work, and in this case, it was given to Pun-Chong, also known as “Doki” and “Doctor Vida”, which are some of the nicknames the children of the Inspira shelter have given him.
After receiving the award, Pun-Chong said that the real heroes are the children, who show that “love has no boundaries”, according to the aforementioned media.
He is the founder of the Inspira shelter, which offers a temporary home for children with cancer, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome and burns. It was founded in 2008 and, so far, he has helped more than 800 families.
