Good NewsU.S. veteran’s makeover transforms a life, goes viral
Just in time for Remembrance Day, Dégagé Ministries, a non-profit centre that aims to transforms the lives of veterans "inside and out," is sharing a touching video of a homeless veteran's makeover.
United States Army Veteran Jim Wolf was given what at first seems to be a superficial helping hand: a haircut, dye job and new suit.
His incredible physical transformation, however, inspired him to take control of his own life.
Watch the powerful three-minute video by RobBlissCreative below:
According to the video, after struggling with poverty, homelessness and alcoholism for decades, Wolf is "now scheduled to have his own housing and is attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings for the first time ever."
