Can't figure out a goddamn way to send money for food or gift card or whatever to someone using Euros. Insert Stalin quote about hunger not waiting. Anyone got a nice way? Or a way at all? Like do i have to use fuckin Bitcoin?

Any help appreciated

    How with euros to dollars? I wanted to but couldn't figure it out. Also forgot to add, they kinda need help quickly so mailing is gonna take too long. Was hoping email could work

      I don’t know trustworthy site from the top of my head as I’ve done it 4 years ago. You get a checkout form for your own card, pay it, you maybe get hit with commission on money exchange (if your bank super shitty, around 2 bucks), and receive data in email

      You could do any like Visa E-Gift card - those can be added to Apple/Samsung/Google Pay, so assuming they have a phone and are shopping somewhere that accepts contactless payment - they could easily use it that way. Or, like just write down the card number and ask the employee at the store to enter it manually on their end (when I worked at walmart, it was a bit of a hassle because policy dictated a manager had to be called over but I'd key in people's debit/credit cards manually all the time whenever I was at a register with a shitty pin-pad. ymmv depending on the store, but most places should be able to do it upon request although I could see some karens thinking it is sus). Walmart definitely has an in-app payment method too.

      Can be sent via email - but I believe they also have a physical option which you can send.

      I've used Vanilla before - https://www.vanillagift.com but any of the Visa Gift Card authorized sellers (https://usa.visa.com/pay-with-visa/find-card/buy-gift-card) should result in a card that can be used online or via mobile pay options.
