Our live coverage has ended. Read below to see how the night unfolded.

… Dr. Ricardo Pun-Chong for his tireless work helping families with young children who come into his hospital in Lima, Peru.

He will receive $100,000 to keep his cause going and the title of CNN Hero of the Year for 2018.

Many of the families who benefit from Pun-Chong’s nonprofit, Inspira, must travel far from home to seek the best medical treatment. Often unable to pay for a place to stay, these families can find themselves homeless while fighting for their children’s lives. Some camp out in the hospital corridors.

“I couldn’t get the picture of the families sleeping on the floor out of my mind,” Pun-Chong said. “So, I decided to do something for them.”

Since 2008, Inspira has provided free housing, meals and overall support for sick children and their families while they undergo treatment. The organization has helped more than 900 families who’ve come from all over Peru.

Pun-Chong, who lives a few blocks from the shelter and is there almost every day, runs the organization with the help of a small staff and an army of passionate volunteers. He spends every holiday with the families there.

“The kids inspire me every day,” Pun-Chong said. “When I’m with these kids, and I feel how strong they are, I understand that there are no problems that we can’t resolve.” Read more here

Years after a skiing accident left her paralyzed, Amanda Boxtel learned about bionic exoskeleton suits – machines that help people with mobility issues walk.

In an exoskeleton, Boxtel took her first step in 18 years.

Realizing this technology was not easily accessible or affordable, she started?Bridging Bionics?which provides high-tech physical therapy to people with mobility impairments near Aspen, Colorado.

CNN Hero Susan Munsey’s arrest at the age of 16 for prostitution saved her life. Today, her nonprofit?GenerateHope offers a safe place for survivors of sex trafficking to heal and build new lives. The group provides long-term housing, therapy, education and medical care.

“It’s not just about creating safety physically, but psychologically as well,” Munsey said.

Each week, girls in Lagos, Nigeria’s poorest neighborhoods get a glimpse of another world when they attend GirlsCoding, a free program run by the?Pearls Africa Foundation?that seeks to educate – and excite – girls about computer programming.

Since 2012, the group has helped more than 400 disadvantaged girls gain the technical skills and confidence they need to transform their lives.

It’s the vision of CNN Hero Abisoye Ajayi-Akinfolarin, who was honored tonight for dedicating herself to this work.

“Technology is a space that’s dominated by men. Why should we leave that to guys?” she said. “I believe girls need opportunities.”

Dr. Rob Gore finds violent injuries particularly hard to stomach – a feeling compounded by the fact that many of the victims he treats are young men of color.

So he started the?Kings Against Violence Initiative?– known as KAVI – which has anti-violence programs in the hospital, schools and broader community of Brooklyn, New York, serving more than 250 young people.

Today, at 87 years old – when most people are deep in retirement – Florence Phillips shows no signs of winding down her mission to help immigrants in her community.

To serve their needs, she started the?ESL In-Home Program of Northern Nevada, a nonprofit that provides free English as a Second Language, citizenship, GED and computer classes.

Since its inception in 2004, the nonprofit has helped more than 5,000 immigrants and their families.

“To have the gift of language gives them the ability to feel they are contributing not only to their family but to their new home in the US,” she said.

While working on her graduate school thesis in 2013, Ellen Stackable stumbled upon a topic that would change hers.

She learned that her home state of Oklahoma has the highest rate of female incarceration in the country – and it has held this record for more than 25 years.

So she decided to bring creative writing classes to incarcerated women. Her nonprofit,?Poetic Justice, started in one location. Now the program is in five female prisons in Oklahoma.

Tonight, Stackable – one of the Top 10 CNN Heroes - received a $10,000 prize for her work.

It’s easy to ignore the homeless encampment near your neighborhood, the pollution clogging the local beach or the faraway children who don’t have resources to play a sport they love.

Solving those problems might seem insurmountable, but not to one group of teens and tweens who saw an issue and tackled it with passion and energy.

At Sunday’s CNN Heroes tribute, these five extraordinary young people will be honored for making a difference in their communities and far beyond.
