God Bless this young man and his family!! He is the BEST of this country! His parents raised an exceptional man! Prayers to him and his mom. The employers/company need to step up and help all they can I think. He is a HERO and a huge asset to his community!

[@irisessex90]

This is a good decent man who was raised well.

[@Kia-v2p]

They need better security at these stores for crazy customers 😞

[@jerronmoone8243]

He got injured on the job defending other employees so he should be suing Dollar General since they didn’t say he violated policy by defending others.

[@twaller333]

Healing prayers and blessings for this young man and his mother.

[@nancygreen1655]

Caleb deserves some help to keep himself going until he can get back to work. I sure hope they have a GoFundMe to help them along. Prayers up for a complete recovery for Caleb. Stay strong. God has got you.

[@tommiejackson-zd4dl]

May God bless this humbling family lord have mercy Amen 🙏

[@ElviraMerriweather]

Caleb, I don't know you or your mom personally, but you two are certainly humanitarians. Celeb,your mom has raised an amazing young man!!💯💯👌🏾👏🏾

[@elizaconey3738]

This is a work comp injury he should be getting that from his job.

[@nancygreen1655]

They needed an attorney. Dollar General is not looking out for their employees. Most employers don’t give a rat’s behind about you.

[@nict6549]

Wait, he’s not being paid? What’s with that?

[@tammylynnbr]

God bless this man and I pray that he has a full and complete recovery. This interviewer needs so much more practice, bless her heart

[@evelynd1355]

I hope his father is helping the young man pay his bills and have money to go to the movies or a restaurant or somewhere.

[@tymexdblu6189]

It sounds like his Father is present but is in the Military.

[@marriejames01]

The audio is terrible. Everyone should have had a mic.

[@evelynd1355]

There is a mic on his shirt.

[@sonjiharvey2722]

You are an awesome young man! after all the obstacles you've been through. You are excelling! keep shining young man! God bless you!❤

[@nancygreen1655]

He sounds so sad.

[@cindyjohns6222]

@CalebFox . YOU ARE A TRUE HERO !!

[@gloriaedwards699]

Caleb is a Good Samaritan young man and may the Lord bless him and heal him completely and I hope Dollar Tree will continue to help him through this difficult time and compensate him for his bravery.And God bless his mother for standing up for him.He’s so humble and I wish that other young people would be like him.🙏🙏🥰🥰

[@luannestrickland4199]

This is a true hero! Defending your co workers and being courageous to the coward.

[@sonjiharvey2722]

You are a brave young man! DG at most location don't have security, and they should! They are putting employees and customer lives in danger. Rich corporation seems to be unconcerned for people lives! only concerned about the money.

[@tymexdblu6189]

He should also look into Crime Victim Broad of his State. They would compenstate him also. Definitely look into Dollar General compensation also. AND fire that Reporter for asking too many stupid questions. Vet brave young man who knew his limitatons and his awareness to do something😊😊.

[@beverlycromwell9805]

he cant get disability or nothing

[@misspamm1968]

Coincidentally, I saw an older man have a complete…aggressive meltdown in a dollar general store. I was inches away from him waiting in line. He decided to verbal tack a much younger man waiting in line. In his opinion, the younger man was standing too close to him. He started cussing and shouting..and took a swing at him. The young man ducked..I stepped back..no one did anything. No one said anything..I left my purchase and walked out. Strange times we live in..Bless this young man for his courage..

[@Shannon-gr7rm]

He seems like a nice person.

[@monicamartin6069]

This is a very special young man, so thoughtful and concerned about others, defending the customer, not burdening his mom financially, thinking about his dad. Caleb and Joshua were the only 2 of the 12 men Moses sent to spy out Canaan and came back with a good report. They trusted that with the Lord God going before them, they could subdue the giants in the land. I am encouraging Caleb to trust God just as his namesake in the bible did and claim his mountain, his victory in Jesus name. God blessings upon you.

[@annieshazer5257]

The sad thing is they leave employees working alone for hours in my state of New York at least where I live,which is not okay with all the crazy stuff happening this day and age.

[@charingram5231]

Amazing! Caleb is differently-abled and an inspiration to us all to do better and be better!!

[@corishabrown685]

Caleb is a real man I pray great things for this man. I pray that God keep his mighty angels around him and I wish nothing but blessings and blessings and blessings from God.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾❤️

[@The1goodLord]

So sweet and soft spoken. God, please continue to bless this young man. Please heal his mind, body, and soul and grant him peace and happiness in the precious name of Jesus I pray 🙏🏽 ~Amen😞
