lifesaver
Crucial help provider
A lifesaver is someone or something that rescues from danger—originally a person who saves drowning swimmers, now often figurative for anything that provides crucial help in a difficult moment: That extra battery was a lifesaver.
Lifesaver is also a ring-shaped hard candy, named for its resemblance to a life preserver.
