try it:

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
     if message.content == "help me":
         user = await client.fetch_user(12345678909876543) # id goes here

         if user is not None: # if id is correct
             if user.dm_channel is None: 
                 # if DM channel is not created
                 await user.create_dm()

             await user.dm_channel.send("Someone needs help")

You can do it using discord.py library for python. Just create simple event listener and send DM to a user with given ID like this:

import discord

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True

client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.content == "help me":
        user = client.get(YOUR_ID)  # specify your Discord account ID here
        if user is not None:
            await user.send("Hi someone needs help")

client.run("TOKEN")
