Thank you!
Certainly, the word "helps" is used quite often, but it is normally used as a verb, not a noun. (I Looked up "helps" too and there were no surprises.) Certainly, there are noun uses for "help", but the word is not normally pluralized. For example, we would not say "Thank you for your helps'. You could say "Thank you for all your help".
