Fire Took Everything

Donation protected
AG Dakota, a hospitality chain in South Dakota was notified early in the morning that a fellow hotel owner had lost everything. We would like to join together with the community as well as local and national business to help this wonderful family out of this tragic event.
Ken and Cindy Wilmarth, owners of the H&H Motel in Kadoka South Dakota tragically lost a large portion of their hotel to a raging electrical fire caused by a tranformer in the early morning 3/6/2018. Ken and Cindy owned and operated the hotel and restaurant for over 40 years. Originally built and operated by Ken's father. It was a Best Western then a Roadway before returning to the original name H&H. The Wilmarths raised a wonderful family and were on the edge of retirement when the tradgedy struck. This loss will cause that dream to fade away. 
Ken has been active in the community on the Fire Department as a memeber od the Inn Keepers Association and a High School referee all for over 25 years. The Wilmarths have been married over 40 years and have two amazing daughters. 
We are asking for any donation so that this beautiful family an still realize their dream to retire and spend time with family. They were going to use the funds from the sale of the hotel to purchase their retirment home. 
This money will go help with the down payment for their home, for furniture and other necessities that will be needed.
