aid
Give a hand
Aid is help or assistance, especially of a practical or material kind.
Countries send foreign aid—money, food, supplies—to those in need.
A hearing aid assists with sound; a visual aid helps explain something.
First aid is emergency medical care.
To aid someone is to help them: She aided the investigation.
An aide, spelled differently, is a person who assists.
