Dear Friends and Community: Over the holiday weekend there was a tragedy among our community and I am hoping to tell you the story so we can get the word out to as many people as possible to help a Mesquite family in desperate need. Early Sunday morning there was an auto accident involving three teenagers traveling back to college. Two walked away but one was not as fortunate. Michael Delgado, 17 years old, from Mesquite had to be freed from the car by using "jaws of life" and care-flighted to the nearest hospital, Scott & White Memorial Hospital in Temple, Texas. After undergoing 10 hours of surgery his parents were given the devastating news that he would never walk again. His injuries from this accident were so severe it has left him paralyzed from the waist down. He faces more surgeries and rehabilitation. Michael was featured in the Mesquite News last year for his college signing to play soccer at Howard Payne University. He was a varsity soccer player
