Even if it costs me.

I helped edit an essay for a student who I believe has great potential but lacks self-confidence in their own natural ability due to reasons only known to itself. So to try and boost their self-confidence and hopefully help teach the individual to see their own mistakes, I edited the essay only in sections I thought needed much attention and to see if they could pick up all their own mistakes and maybe now they can see that they can do a perfectly fine job themself without having to later rely on others which would greatly benefit under exam conditions though I don't think they quite got the point. Nevertheless, I understand the benefits to ask for additional opinions other than your own but ever so more useful if you do your best first then ask so you can see where your flaws are.

I don't want to have to explain the reasons why I do certain things to try to help people all the time. If you don't understand why but benefit from it, that's okay. I have come to accept that people will take it for what they see first hand and not realize the fabrications laid and rather see it in a different point of light. Even if you never see it, if you learn that's all that matters.
