LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. — A special delivery for a family in need this Christmas.
Channel 2’s Nefertiti Jaquez was there when a Gwinnett County mother and her two daughters got a surprise knock on the door: a community bearing gifts.
Jamie Kolev is dying of stage 4 breast cancer. We previously featured the 27-year-old mother last week when she was facing eviction from her landlord.
But this Christmas will be different for the family.
"I think it will be a Christmas they will never forget,” Kolev said.
Michael Clarke and his team at Del Frisco's Grille in Buckhead stepped up to help this family, by taking donations.

"It broke my heart to think what if these were my children,” Clarke said.
They raised nearly $10,000.
"The love, support, and caring the community has shown has just been incredible,” Clarke said.
Kolev said the first thing she will be doing with the money that was raised is find a new home for her and the girls.
