Коли йому було 6, його мати залишила його.
Він вижив завдяки тому, що жебракував та мив вікна авто біля світлофорів.
Взимку, коли температура досягала -35С, він спав у вагонах, бо там тепліше. Влітку він живе разом із друзями в закинутому будинку. Діма вміє трошки читати, але не може писати; в нього немає ніяких документів або паперів, що засвідчують його особу.
Без Вашої допомоги за два роки він перетвориться на злочинника. Або помре.
