¡Siempre estoy feliz _____ ayudar

Is it por or para or en?

The context is thus: "¡Gracias por todo!” dijo Carlos. Ana respondió, “De nada. ¡Siempre estoy feliz ______ ayudar!”

MUCHISIMAS GRACIAS.

Something is wrong with all sentences.

I wouldn`t use neither "Para" nor "Por".

The word "de" is more appropiate... However, "Siempre estoy feliz de ayudar" sounds strange, the more correct translation in Spanish is:

"Me gusta ayudar", "Me siento feliz cuando ayudo" or "Soy feliz cuando ayudo" .

I would go for "por".

(As it is explained in the grammar reference: reason/motive -"por")
