life-savers
Those who rescue
Life-savers are people or things that rescue someone from danger, particularly drowning.
The term extends to anything that provides crucial help in a difficult situation: Those snacks were life-savers during the long meeting.
In American English, Life Savers is also a brand of ring-shaped hard candy, which influences the metaphorical use—something small but remarkably helpful when you need it most.
