Press Release Summary: \"Coffee for a Heart\" is a fund-raising project by July Lies,
whose younger brother Robin was born with severe Down Syndrome.

Press Release Body: 40-60% children born Down Syndrome have heart defects and Robin
is one of them.

"A cardiologist specialist in Down Syndrome confirmed that my brother\'s condition is
due to the \"hole\" in his heart and a surgery is required as soon as possible," says
July.

Robin\'s heart surgery is scheduled for August 22, however the surgery is not
confirmed until the family has $45,000, and they must confirm this by August 20. The
cost of the surgery, hospital stay, and 1 month medication supply is $60,000. So far
the family has raised $30,000.

"Hearing Robin\'s condition through phone really makes me homesick and feeling lonely
because I am half the globe away from them," says July, whose family currently
resides in Indonesia. "I have no experience, however thanks to my friends for ideas
and support, I was able to put \"Coffee for a Heart\" together."
