Pull our your tissues, guys. This is a powerful one.

Sometimes, all you need to make a fresh start is a little help. Jim Wolf, a US Army vet who has struggled with homelessness and alcoholism, was recently given a makeover by non-profit Degage Ministries. The incredible timelapse video of that makeover is below:

According to Degage, Jim has managed to start attending AA meetings and even has some housing lined up.

Remember, Monday is Veteran’s Day. You can donate to Degage on online fundraising site YouCaring.com.
