“Reloadable” card?

I’m hoping someone can help me figure out if this is feasible with PayPal and how to do it.

I want to essentially have a reloadable debit card to give to someone with a small monthly budget. It’s not super important that I monitor the expenses closely, but I don’t want it to be linked to my personal PayPal account as I want to keep the funds separate. I thought PayPal debit would be good for this - I could set up a separate PayPal account with an attached debit card, and have scheduled monthly deposits to reload the card with that month’s budget.

But as I navigate the PayPal site I can’t quite figure out how to set this up, and it seems that I can only have one PayPal account per email address and per bank account. Is this right? Is there any way to configure this to get it to work the way I want? If not, does anyone have suggestions for a banking service that will allow this? For various reasons, I’d prefer not to set up another traditional checking account with my existing bank for this purpose.
