I keep getting a 404 error when I try to donate. Could it be just overloaded?

You can also donate to OPERATION USA. You can trust that your funds will help those who need it most.

CM2 that looks like one of those fake websites that people email you asking to update your information...I feel much safer donating to the red cross.

Belive me, it isn't a fake website. And, I can guarantee you that more of your money goes directly to relief, than a donation to the Red Cross. Operation USA was founded by Julie Andrews and Blake Edwards to provide disaster relief, in the 1970's. It's been around a long time and has helped thousands.
