SUPPORT has flooded in for an indigenous boy seriously injured during a fall in Dromana.
Cebby Johnson, 14, was flown to Melbourne’s Royal Children’s Hospital in a critical condition after falling through a skylight on a roof on Friday, August 10, shortly after 1.30pm.

Supporters have set up a gofundme appeal to raise money for Cebby.
“He is in the intensive care unit at the moment,” a statement with the appeal said.
“There are many costs involved including accommodation for (foster mother) Tanya and his family, medical bills.
“This is the best way you can help at the moment. Cebby moved here from Tennant Creek and immediately became a much loved member of our community.
“He immersed himself in all kinds of sporting activities and gained many friends along the way.
The Northern Territory News reported that members of Cebby’s Tennant Creek family were travelling to be by his side.
Family friend Jasmin Afianos, who has known Cebby since he was a baby, told the paper that
Cebby was well known and loved.
“The community of Tennant Creek is reaching out and channelling love and healing energy to him,” she said.
“It’s important to all of us he gets through this.
“ (Cebby and his friends) were just being teenagers and he’s paying a heavy price.”
