"Assistance" means help or support. It's when someone helps you do something you might find difficult on your own. For instance, if you're struggling to tie your shoelaces, and your older sister does it for you, she is giving you 'assistance'. It can also mean the help given by people or things. Like when you're learning to swim and you use arm bands, they are giving you 'assistance' to stay afloat.
