U.S. Army Veteran Jim Wolf gets his old look bad in an incredible time-lapse transformation video.

The video has been uploaded for Veteran's Day, the Huffington Post writes. Wolf was homeless and struggling with alcoholism when he was picked by Dégagé Ministries for this video.

The non-profit helps “400-500 individuals daily,” and its mission is aiding “homeless and disadvantaged” people.

Wolf had been fighting his addiction to alcohol for decades, and agreed to have his look changed in September of this year.

He gets a haircut, a shave and a change of clothes, donning a suit and a shirt and tie. The organization is also raising money for him, and they have collected over $9,000 (€6,800). The three-minute video of the make-over has been watched over four million times.
