Medallion of Spanish Saint? My grandparents too believe that a saint who is glorified in Heaven has more "direct access" to God.
The Bible nowhere instructs believers in Christ to pray to anyone other than God.
1 Timothy 2:5 declares, "For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." There is no one else that can mediate with God for us.

it might be this saint;
The appeal of St. Martin de Porres is universal. Called an apostle of charity, patron of social justice, father of the sick and poor, and helper in hopeless cases, he is a powerful intercessor to those in need.St. Martin de Porres was born in Lima, Peru, in 1579 shortly after the city was founded and was a contemporary in that "City of Saints" with St. Rose of Lima, St. Turibius (Archbishop of Peru), St. Francis Solanus and Bl. John Massias. Apprenticed as a barber-doctor at age 12, he entered the Dominican Order a few years later as a lay brother.
Advancing quickly to the highest level of spirituality--it is believed by 20 years of age--he passed the remainder of his 60 years in complete dedication to his order and to the cause of the poor and sick of Lima. St. Martin de Porres is famous for his miracles, which include multiplying food to help feed the monks--and the poor, who daily came to beg--healing the sick (even wounded and sick animals), visiting those in need through bilocation, and raising the dead. St. Martin did extreme penance, using the discipline on himself nightly, and spent long hours in ecstatic prayer. The life of St. Martin de Porres is explanation enough why he is so powerful with God and such a certain helper in time of need.

I can't find one with a crutch and lamb.
If it was a cross and lamb then it might be John the Baptist: http://www.catholic-forum.com/saints/saintj02.htm
With love in Christ.

Saint Francis of Asisi. He loves to help people and teaches them humility. A very humble and loving bretheren.
