事实上只有support for ...而反而没有support to ...这种说法

习惯用语

come to one's support
            来支持某人

give support to
            支持, 支援

lend support to
            支持, 支援

in support
            【军】供支援用的, 后备的, 第二线的

in support of
            帮助[支援]..., 为...辩护证明

沒有看到support for的用法……

我之前没解释清楚。我的意思是没有support to +动词进行时这种说法，只有support for +动词进行时这样的结构。

give support to / lend support to

exerpted from the DICTIONARY.

But, only provide sth for sth is plausible. Provide sth to do sth is infeasible.
