"A selfie to brag about helping." Typically a American or European volunteer in Africa or Southeast Asia taking a picture of themselves with a child or children that are obviously poor, often showing the American or European offering help to the child or children, or implying such help. These photos are often used as Tinder profile pictures, and eventually are featured on Humanitarians of Tinder.

Also can be a photograph of a humanitarian aid worker in the act of helping a needy person, used in the context of fundraising for the humanitarian organization. As referenced in an official USAID response, "Small et. al 2007 has shown that well-lit photos and helpies generate more funding than text-based, and data-driven presentations of complex, global problems."
"She took a beautiful helpie of her and a child at the village school in Uganda where she volunteered for a week. Now its her Tinder profile picture and her organization is using that photo as a helpie in their annual report"

Words you can keep
When you aren’t good at photography and definitely had someone else take your “selfie” for you...
Check out the angle on that picture - it’s humanly impossible to achieve such artistic dimension by oneself even with the aid of a timer and selfie stick. This has got to be a helpie.

FIrstly I invented the word a couple of years ago, when a group of my wife's friends wanted to all have their mobile phone photograph taken and it could only be done with me taking the picture.

So I said, I will help you by taking the photo, so the whole group could be in the picture and I will call it a HELPIE.
A single person, or a group of people, who want their mobile phone / camera photograph taken, however they all want to be in the picture, so I offer to take the photo for them and it is a " helpie " A helpie is always a much improved photograph over a selfie.

"A 'SELFIE' that's not only a self-portrait but a simultaneous cry for help." Selfies that you want to unsee.
"She's going overboard with the selfies, that last one was definitely a helpie... no one wants to witness that desperation."

helping a buddy out 

This is when one straight guy gives another straight guy a handjob or blowjob. This is not a gay act if the rules of the Bro Code are followed: 1) the recipient must not have the option of sex with a female easily available, 2) the helper must be doing it as a favor to a friend and not receive any sexual pleasure from performing the act, 3) the act must be reciprocated, although not necessarily contemporaneously, 4) the act must never be revealed to third parties, 5) no kissing, 6) no contact with the recipient's ass. This act is frequently done under the influence of alcohol or other mind altering substances. If the act does not involve simultaneous reciprocation, the helper should keep his pants on. See also brojob.
