Cathy Cardenas wins Jefferson Award for helping homeless teen moms and military wives.

Cardenas runs Design Hometending, a company she started six years ago to turn vacant houses that are up for sale into real, lived-in homes.

As her business has grown, Cathy decided to "pay it forward" with makeovers.  On Valentine's day she organizes a day of pampering, shopping, hair, make-up, and a special night out for military wives.  And around Mother's Day this year, she helped out Seton Home, a shelter for homeless teen girls and their children, by making over their living areas.

Check out Randy Beamer's profile of Cardenas and the presentation of the Jefferson Award by 4 WOAI General Manager Jackie Rutledge.
