The company explains it as exercising "good judgment by âdoing the right thingâ instead of just âdoing things right.â We strive to understand the impact of our decisions, and we accept responsibility for our actions.â The value is so important that it is written on all of its employees' work vests. Thereâs no better example of employees following the companyâs values than an incident that happened late last month at a Home Depot store in Bellevue, Tennessee. This story was [originally reported by WSMV in Nashville, Tennessee]( and we thought it was such a good deed that we wanted to share it far and wide through our Upworthy audience. Home Depot employee Adam Adkisson was walking down aisle 22, where you can find insulation and ladders, when he noticed a small envelope. âI didnât think anything of it at first. I thought it was empty, but I thought Iâd go back to make sure and when I picked it up, I could feel that It had stuff in it. It had money,â [Adkisson told WSMV.]( When he opened the envelope, he realized it was stuffed with $700 cash.

They start their lives together from their mother's womb and are known to be each others' best friends till death. One can't bear to see the other in trouble and go to great lengths to protect them. Maybe that's why Poppy McBride sent out distress signals from the womb upon seeing her sister struggle, leading the doctors to deliver them early and save her life. Leah McBride and her husband, Austin, 27, a crane mechanic, were excited to have twins in January 2019. But at 21 weeks, the doctors told them that their girls had a twin-to-twin transfusion, in which there is an imbalance of blood flow. It makes one baby a donor and the other the recipient of all the nutrients, according to [WalesOnline](. There was a 48% difference in the sizes of both children. Leah said that she was advised to terminate Poppy in order to give her other daughter a better chance of survival as the doctors "were worried that Poppy would have a heart attack as she was passing all the nutrients to Winnie and they thought Winnie might have a stroke." But Leah didn't want to choose one baby over the other. So she decided to get a second opinion. She went to Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston and the doctors suggested surgery to steady the blood imbalance. It was successful. [Read the story]( Did a friend forward this to you?
