Intended to help me inside (5)
I believe the answer is:
aimed
'intended' is the definition.
(aiming is a kind of intending)
'help me inside' is the wordplay.
'help' becomes 'aid' ('aid' can be a synonym of 'help').
'inside' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'aid' enclosing 'me' is 'AIMED'.
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for aimed that I've seen before include "Directed towards specified goal" , "Pointed a weapon at" , "Directed, targeted" , "Pointed towards" , "Drew a bead on" .)
