What does 一人でも多くの人に means in the context of:
忙しくて忙しくて、誰でもいいから一人でも多くの人に 手伝ってもらいたい。
I can see it means something like "busy, busy, I want to get some help, from anyone", but I can't understand the 一人でも多くの人に part. To me it looks like "even one person, from many people".
My Japanese friend reckons it means "as many as possible", but I fail to see how it can mean that.
What do you all reckon?
