assisted
Gave a hand
Assisted is the past tense of assist, meaning helped or supported.
It often appears in compounds describing aid with significant actions: assisted living provides help with daily tasks for those who need it, assisted suicide involves helping someone end their life, and physician-assisted death specifies medical involvement.
In sports, an assisted goal credits the player who made the final pass.
