Can anyone check this sentence? What does the original Japanese mean?

Literally "Helped me it is kind". But you may waiting for answer from native (or near native) English/Japanese speaker. That is not me :D. Wait for other replies, please! ;)

@NNC: Sounds unnatural to me.

So, CK, what's the verdict regarding the two sentences? (The English doesn't sound natural to me, and that's why I asked what the Japanese meant; I would suggest to delete the English, but I don't know if the Japanese should be deleted as well).

The reason I haven't deleted this is that compared to sentences like "You are brave to venture into this storm", the form seems acceptable. I've never seen "good" used in that way, but wouldn't be surprised if it was acceptable somewhere...
