thanklessly
Receiving no gratitude
Thanklessly means without receiving thanks or gratitude for one's efforts.
It describes doing something that goes unappreciated or unacknowledged: She worked thanklessly for years before anyone noticed her contributions.
The word often carries a note of resignation—the person laboring thanklessly may not expect recognition but deserves it nonetheless.
