    Call your public library reference desk. They have information about area churches, agencies, and charities that will help you get together some nice gifts for your grandson.

    I've asked the moderators to remove your address from this post. Please do not post personal information on the internet, it's dangerous, and it's against the rules of this site.

    Christmas is a very difficult time financially for many families. The majority of long term members on this site are struggling to make ends meet, and can barely give their own families a Christmas.

    There are charities out there. Check if your town has a Santas Anonymous. The way it works is that you sign up, and if they deem your application acceptable, they'll send a toy to the child you list on your application. I'm not sure if it would work for a grandmother though, not unless the child lives with you.

    Your local church may also be able to help.

    Good Luck and Merry Christmas.

    Speak to the principal at his school. Most schools help needy families if they are asked. The school can also refer your name to the appropriate agency for assistance.

    Can the child's parents merely help buy one gift,

    And it is not the "thing" they break, get lost and seldom are there in a few months. Take the gift of time with the child.
