I am sorry to hear about you family member, hopefully it all works out.  As far as the process, seriously, if you dont take the time to read, study, and read some more this may not be the way to go for you.  There is a thread not far down that actually lists some places to get BTC.  And I have said this before, to me that is the most critical part of the equation, as those men in suits will rip you off faster than 99% of the vendors on here (funny how society would like you to believe it is the other way around).  I think the EU has many more options for getting BTC quickly and safely than the US.  Find that thread, and choose one from that list, should go smoothly.  But before you do any of that please read up on how Bitcoins work, and how to move them around.  The rest of the experience on the road should be a smooth one, just make sure you read plenty of reviews, and don't FE

In case you did not find that list of bitcoin exchanges I pasted them here, most places will want you to wire or send cash to them, then they will credit your account so that you can exchange for bitcoins (I suppose some give bitcoins directly for cash deposit), once you have your bitcoins from their site move them to a wallet of your choice (SR wallet is fine), then you are all set, try to stick with the bigger names here until get more comfortable with the whole process:

Many accept various forms of payment from MoneyPak, MoneyGram, Dwolla, Money Order and cash deposit to a bank.

The quickest and easiest method to obtain bitcoins I find is through localbitcoins. Go to the convenience store and buy a moneypak or vanilla reload card and put as much cash as you desire for exchanging with bitcions. afterwards go on the website and find an individual that accepts the aforementioned payment cards and do the exchange. It's very simple and straightforward that you should be able to figure it out with no problems. Also, very anonymous since you use cash for the reload cards. I hope this helps out my friend and will pray for your ill family member. Take care.

I have been thinking of buying that way (localbitcoin) but jees they are so expensive (do these sellers bargain or is the price you see the price you get?)

Localbitcoin is the way to go.  Me in person to transfer the coins or make a cash deposit anonymously into a nearby bank. Bingo!

Sadly, they can be quite pricey and it depends on your payment method. But i guess you pay for quickness. Sites like coinbase take up to a week to get your bitcoins but offer cheaper exchange rates. So it comes down to how much of a hurry you are in to get your much needed coin.
