I believe the answer is:

assisi

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'given where saint was born' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'endless help one' is the wordplay.
'endless' means to remove the last letter.
'help' becomes 'assist' (to assist someone is to help them).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'assist' with its last letter taken off is 'assis'.
'assis'+'i'='ASSISI'

'is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for assisi that I've seen before include "St Francis's city" , "St Francis was born in this Italian town" , "Umbrian town" , "Homeplace of St Francis" , "saint from here" .)
