It's that compassion and love that is at the center of why Anderson was nominated for the award by 96-year-old Jenny McLean and her son, Len Matteo. State leaders, officials push for clean air quality for Connecticut schools 'She comes each day to pick up my mom in the morning, make sure she's ready, drives her there, my mom will take the bus home.

She is the cofounder of Swords to Plowshares Northeast, a non-profit violence prevention organization that repurposes guns into gardening tools. 'I've just seen so many people die from gunshot wounds and they're all preventable accidents so if I can provide a safe venue to turn in guns and do something productive with them, to take something that was life-taking into life-making, it's powerful,' she said. 'I'm incredibly proud to have this award and be recognized for this award. You just get so humbled and I don't have words for it,' she continued.
