aid
Abet and instigate are now used almost without exception in a bad sense; one may incite either to good or evil. One incites or instigates to the doing of something not yet done, or to increased activity or further advance in the doing of it; one abets by giving sympathy, countenance, or substantial aid to the doing of that which is already projected or in process of commission. Abet and instigate apply either to persons or actions, incite to persons only; one incites a person to an action. A clergyman will advocate the claims of justice, aid the poor, encourage the despondent, support the weak, uphold the constituted authorities; but he will not incite to a quarrel, instigate a riot, or abet a crime. The originator of a crime often instigates or incites others to abet him in it, or one may instigate or incite others to a crime in the commission of which he himself takes no active part. Compare HELP.

How to use aid in a sentence?
Alaska GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski:
That signaled sympathy for the core of Trumps defense teams argument, which is that even if President Trump did condition foreign aid on an investigation of a political opponent, such conduct would not justify the removal of a president by The Senate in an election year. Leaving the chamber, Alaska GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski told Fox News, I am going to go reflect on what I have heard, re-read my notes and decide whether I need to hear more.
The problem with dealing with someone like Joaquin El Chapo Guzman on this personal basis, where one is perceived as a ‘ friend ’ or an aid, or a business partner of sorts to El Chapo, is that you have to be prepared to inherit all Joaquin El Chapo Guzman enemies, and there are many, these are some very kill-crazy people.
Broadcasting Minister Minendra Rijal:
Our country is in a moment of crisis and we will require tremendous support and aid.
The worst thing we can do is just throw money at Ukraine, i’m very skeptical about putting money into the hands of this government on civilian aid.
The guards were so cruel, once one of them got mad and took my hearing aid and crushed it.
