Help Dennis Norton Come Home

Donation protected
Update- On December 6th, my dad passed peacefully with the love of his life at his side. We were able to say goodbye and are grateful for our time with our amazing dad/grandfather. Money donated will be used to bring my parents and their close friend who flew to their side home. Plus other costs that my mom will incur. We understand if anyone would like a refund, please reach out through private message. Love you all. We feel incredibly blessed to live in a caring and supportive community.

On November 25, 2022, my dad, Dennis Norton, was critically injured while on vacation with his family in Maui. A wave hit Dennis and broke his neck at C2. This freak accident has left Dennis paralyzed from the neck down and dependent on a ventilator to breathe. We are finding a facility on the East Coast to transport Dennis to as he is still in the ICU on Maui. He is medically ready to transport, and Angel Med Flight can handle the transport. The cost of transportation is $122,000 and is not covered by insurance. When he arrives at the new facility, his current insurance will cover about 25 days, and then he will be self-pay. Anyone who knows my dad knows he has worked extremely hard since he was a teenager to support and care for his family. I am devasted that his life's work and savings could be lost to this accident. All funds raised will be used to cover his flight home and his long-term care. My dad has touched the lives of so many people. We hope all the good he has done in the world can be returned to him during his time of need. Please click and read the attached note from Dennis' grandson, Hunter Norton.


Donations can also be made directly at Rockland Savings Bank. An account has been created "For the Benefit of Dennis Norton"
Thank you,
The Norton/Tolman Family
