Bumgardner Tornado Relief Fund

Friends, family and more:

Colton and I are creating this GoFundMe on behalf of his family, Dale and Joetta Bumgardner, as the unimaginable has happened.

Joetta “Nana Jo” unfortunately succumbed to the F4 tornado that came through Matador, Texas 6/21/23, as their home was in the direct path of the tornado. “My Dale” as we affectionally call him, has been left without not only his beloved wife- but also, all of their physical belongs. Their home was completely lost, vehicles gone- and all necessities within the home blown into shreds.

In the coming days, he and Joe Dean will endure the painful reality of planning a funeral for their wife and mother and have that cost as well as medical bills- as Dale was transported to the hospital from injury caused by the tornado.

This is where we hope you can step in. The money we raise will be used to help rebuild their lives, and provide financial relief- as nobody should have a burden in a time like this.

Every little bit counts. Whether you can give $1 or $500, your donation will bring relief. If you are unable to donate at this time, we kindly ask that you share this campaign with others. Your prayers, thoughts, and messages of encouragement are also deeply appreciated.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for all the outpouring of love and support. We have witnessed the hands and feet of Jesus in a big way.

Colton and Casey Russell
