What are some ways to send money to someone that is traveling ?

cross country but doesn't have enough cash to get to their destination. Please advise ASAP. I got a kid(son) who says he's coming out here (Vegas) he doesn't have a pot to piss in let alone gas money the drive from Chicago to Vegas! Thanks

Send him money by Western Union - they are just about everywhere. Find out where you nearest location is, and all he has to do is look up his in the local telephone book where he is, ask directions if needed and get the cash you send. It can be done in under an hour most times.

Western Union or Money Gram are across N.America that recipient could withdraw up to $US300 cash for emergency purpose without Identification other than password and questionnaire. Money usually withdraw able within 1 hr after the sender complete his transaction. WU / MG has agents almost everywhere in corner store, variety mkt, Walmart, Postal outlet and supermarkets.

Other ways if recipient could wait for couple day or two, are through wire through bank or inter banking transfer to his acct or use 'hyperwallet.com' 'beam cash' feature for safety purpose.
