帮得了


Explanation:
I wished I could help you to make your work easier to do, or your life easier to live, your studies less burdensome, and perhaps more meaningful, for you.
Having structured the sentence this way, the speaker probably won't do a thing to help out. Something that is nice to say, but very likely not followed up by any action.
