sacrificers
Those who relinquish
Sacrificers are people who make sacrifices—giving up something valued for a higher purpose or another's benefit.
The term appears in religious contexts for those who perform ritual offerings: The sacrificers prepared the altar.
More broadly, it describes anyone who forgoes personal gain: Parents are often willing sacrificers for their children's futures.
