wellwisher
One cheering you
A wellwisher is someone who hopes for another's success or happiness, often expressed through kind words or gestures: Wellwishers gathered outside the hospital.
The term implies goodwill without necessarily close involvement—wellwishers may be strangers, acquaintances, or supporters rather than intimate friends.
Also spelled well-wisher.
