Elderly, Injured, Broke Friend Needs Help In UK. How To Get Money To Him?

[morlock]

Set up a free checking account here and overnight him an ATM card that links to only that account. You can deposit or transfer money in, and he can withdraw it from a local ATM. If he gets a sudden windfall, he can deposit money, and pay you back. Then cancel that card, get a new one, and send it where it can do more good.

My parents do that for an orphanage in Cambodia.
