Some mitzvot or work only you can do. Someone else could have done it but it may have meant more to him and the Bar Mitzvah to have it come from you.
Imho it is still a chesed.
You helped a friend.
If someone can afford to buy food at a restaurant and rent a hotel room for the weekend, is it still a chesed to host that person for Shabbos for free?
If someone at shul gets a flat tire during a weekday maariv and you offer to change the tire (and do so) even though the person has AAA, to me that’s still a chesed.
