Is it possible to gift cash (or other form) completely anonymously?

My wife and I know a couple who have had one tough thing after another happen to them and are in a very tight spot for the next 6 months. These are not the kind of people who would ever ask for a handout either.

They’d likely be horrified if they knew we just flat out gave them money so I want to try to figure out how to do so completely anonymously.

Which got me thinking: how the heck do you even do this that’s secure and safe?

Edit: Didn’t know if this was more appropriate here or Money Board. Move if needed.

That doesn’t seem very secure.

Do it after the mail comes but before they are home.

What trashy place do you live where people rummage through mailboxes on a regular basis?

True but thought they lived near each other so I grouped it up.

Nothing crazy, probably like $500.

Well, I have never lived next to this people so I have no clue if porch pirates are a problem or not.

Not a problem in our neighborhood but I’m not gifting the money to myself so...

For 500 bucks, do a money order at the post office, then mail it to them. Use fake name and a note saying it's not a mistake.
