"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."

A term used to reference cannabis/marijuana/weed.

When you aren’t good at photography and definitely had someone else take your “selfie” for you...

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 'SELFIE' that's not only a self-portrait but a simultaneous cry for help." Selfies that you want to unsee.
