“It has been more than crazy!” says Labenz, who talked to GoHorseShow right after the tornadoes hit her hometown. “Many of you have asked how you can help. I have shared a link for our town where a disaster fund has been set up. I have also set up a separate disaster fund for my family at Midwest Bank in Norfolk, Nebraska. The account is set up under, ‘Labenz Tornado Fund’. All bare necessities are needed for the entire town.”
