MANTECA, Calif. -- Agape Villages Foster Family Services has teamed up with a local business owner to make the holidays brighter for foster children.

Brandyn Waterford, 9, was excited when he heard his dad was helping with the toy drive for foster children.

"I decided give away something I really like so another kid could have a really good Christmas," Brandyn Waterford said.

He surprised his family when he decided to give away a gift he got for his birthday.

It is a brand new Nintendo Wii, which his mom had stood in line for hours to get him.

"I wanted to donate it to the foster care so other kids could have a really special Christmas," Brandyn Waterford said. "My teacher said foster kids don't really get toys."

In addition to gifts, Agape Villages hopes to place some foster children in good homes.

"I just feel like I'm one of the luckiest dad's in the world," Phil Waterford said. "What my son did -- I'm really touched by it. It's not the monetary amount but the thought."
