Question

Como se dice -its not worth helping people who don't want to help themselves?

Is this correct..

No vale la pena ayudar a la gente que no quiere que ayudarse.

Im unsure about how to say help themselve , is it ayudarse or aw ayuda?

Thanks

Good attempt, welcome to the forum

No vale la pena ayudar a la gente que no quiere -- ayudarse a sí misma.
