Comedy site Something Awful recently organised a Paypal donation drive for the survivors of Hurricane Katrina (they could not use their normal credit-card processing as their servers are located in New Orleans). Because there were over 3000 dollars an hour flooding in, Paypal suspected fraud and have suspended the account, which then stood at over twenty thousand dollars.
Paypal do not usually release funds on suspended accounts. They look set to keep the lot (on top of the 2.35% fees they charge anyway).
Please contact Paypal at this link

to ask them to forward the funds to the Red Cross immediately, and reinstate the account so people can continue donating.
Thanks for your help
