I found a mouse with a potential spinal injury in my garden

hey all, so this morning I was walking in my garden just to check on things after the storm last night and I found this little guy, a small field mouse, curled up under a leaf and I noticed it didn't run from me, which is weird for the little critters that live in my yard.
so I picked him up and I noticed his hind limbs were completely limp. I think its a spinal injury and i dont want the little guy to suffer; is there anyway I can help him? any tips or suggestions?

Can you post a picture? Is this an adult mouse, or a baby/young mouse? Please also join and post in the Facebook group Orphaned Wild Mice and Rats. Someone there may be able to help. Also, use the Animal Help Now app or website to find a rehabber. It is very important that you make sure whoever the mouse goes to will give it vet care and not feed it to another animal or euthanize immediately.
