dominic was 16 when his mother threw him out the streets of st paoli became his home the red light district of hamburg. when we beat each other up for a sleeping bag it's a fight for survival and then there's a sadistic violence and contempt where people come in they don't treat you with dignity but like dirt. they pee on your sleeping bag or batter us something there might not be a tomorrow maybe someone will set me on fire beat me to death like you end up living just for the here and now and trying to stay alive. yet dominic's got his high school diploma and volunteered in a clothing to pay for refugees people even worse off than him he sees this kind of thing all the time please wake up a sleeping homeless man and tell him to move on. this is also a question of dignity cool among us who sits down somewhere at lunchtime expects to be approached by 3 police officers and you see how they put on gloves because they're disgusted that's no way for people to treat each other. dominick is working to offer homeless people some dignity he's collecting donations to pay for a shower bath a bathroom
