I got this Sentence...

Last week I put together a few flow charts that helped a few people in Bolingbrook as well as myself

For the last word of the sentence word wants me to use ME but ME doesn't sound right to me. Please help me on this...Does it need to be reworded?
 
I created several flow charts last week, it has helped me as well as a few other people in Bolingbrook.
 
I created several flow charts last week that has helped me as well as a few other people in Bolingbrook.

"Last week I put together a few flow charts that helped myself" or "Last week I put together a few flow charts that helped me"

so which is it in your mind now?

It is even more clear if you shorten those sentences even more:

(A) The charts helped myself.
(B) The charts helped me.

Sentence (A) does not sound logical. If you did it yourself, why did you need help?
