(CNN)Prepare to be inspired: CNN has revealed the Top 10 CNN Heroes of 2019 — 10 men and women who are making the world a better place by helping families affected by tragedy, cleaning up the environment, protecting neglected animals, and so much more.
Most of their efforts began small — a few started by collecting donations in their basements. Others have a personal connection to the people they help.
They were all nominated by you — our audience — and selected by CNN to each receive a $10,000 cash prize. And now you can vote on who you think should be the CNN Hero of the Year and the winner receives an additional $100,000 for his or her cause.
