How can I have "will call" Greyhound tickets picked up without a photo ID?
A good friend's daughter is in a bad way.
Not to get into too many irrelevant details, but... She was sent to Arizona to dry out, ended up getting ripped off and is currently living in a shelter. She has no money, and no photo ID.
I'm trying to get her back to Colorado as soon as possible; she's in danger staying where she is, and sending her money will likely increase that danger.
Greyhound sells "will call" tickets on their website. However, they appear to require the traveler to have a photo ID in order to pick them up. Given Greyhound doesn't normally ask for ID, I'm hoping there is a way around this requirement.
Ideas?

Is driving an option? Denver to Phoenix is a full day drive, but there's no chance of her getting into trouble on the way back. By bus, she has to get to the station, get (and keep) her ticket, and deal with the long trip and the likely transfer. She will need some money for en-route expenses too. I can see a lot of things going wrong rather quickly, esp. if she's unstable.
If you drive down there, she's in the passenger seat (and your care) from the shelter door to her parent's place.
Look at rental cars with unlimited miles if your own vehicle is a bit gas-hungry.
