Charlotte, North Carolina, resident Crystal Davis' holiday week began on a sad note. The single mother of five works two jobs, and she had saved up and wrapped presents to put under the family's Christmas tree.
But on Sunday night, a thief broke into the Davis home and stole the packages. The Carolina Panthers' defensive line coach Eric Washington saw a story about the incident on NBC Charlotte, and he and his family decided to help. On Christmas Eve, Washington's wife Amy and his sister Angela went shopping, then made a surprise visit to the Davis home to drop off replacement presents.
