self-sacrificers

Those who surrender

Self-sacrificers are people who give up their own interests, comfort, or well-being for others.

The term often carries a slightly critical edge, suggesting the sacrifice may be excessive, performative, or martyr-like: The self-sacrificers in the family never let you forget what they've given up.
