life-saver
One who rescues
A life-saver is someone or something that rescues from danger or disaster.
Literally, it's a person who saves drowning swimmers—a lifeguard.
More commonly, it describes anything that provides crucial help in a difficult moment: That extra battery was a life-saver.
In American English, Life Savers is also a brand of ring-shaped hard candy.
