A word for a person who needs assistance?

single-word-requests

What do you call a person who needs assistance in a general sense?

This could be in terms of needing help finding something, or needing a small job done, or help understanding something, or getting an opinion on something.

Pretty much just being helped or assisted in general, not necessarily due to an inability to do the task themselves.


Solution 1:

I believe that person is help-seeker; similar to job seeker, asylum seeker, truth seeker, thrill seeker, information seeker, publicity seeker and attention seeker.

Solution 2:

Could it be a person in need?; or a person in need of help?
