Usage Note
Apoyo is the noun from apoyar (to support). It covers both physical support (el apoyo de una viga, the support of a beam) and moral or political backing (el apoyo popular). The phrase contar con el apoyo de means 'to have the support of.' Do not confuse with aplauso (applause), which is a different kind of public endorsement.
Examples
"Gracias por tu apoyo en este momento difícil."
Natural Translation
Thank you for your support in this difficult moment.
