Report of what hard-up person may need without help (5)

I believe the answer is:

alone

(Other definitions for alone that I've seen before include "Exclusively; solitary" , "Single" , "Without others present" , "Isolated; exclusively" , "Without anybody or anything else" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
