On August 5th at approximately 12am, Brody Blakely, was in a serious car accident. He was traveling less than one mile between stops when he lost control of the vehicle. Due to the severity of the accident and that a gas pipe and electrical pole were taken out that took power from over 1600 homes, it became local media news.

Brody suffered a severely broken arm, laceration on his leg and head trauma. As you can see from the pictures attached, Brody is lucky to be alive today. He is currently in ICU at the Medical Center of Arlington.

I have known the Blakely family for over 30 years and Brody the entire 18 years of his life. He is a recent graduate and football player of James Martin High School in Arlington, TX. Over 80 friends & family members, including former teachers, MHS Coaching Staff, the AISD Superintendent and local religious heads have visited Brody.

Several stories have been shared at Camp Brody (ICU Waiting Room) with words describing him such as "best friend" & "mentor". The support from his friends & family on social media, text & private messages has been overwhelming.

The purpose of this page is to provide funds for expenses that may not be covered by insurance and a place for those wanting to contribute to Team Brody.

Sincerely,
Dexter McFrazier
