'Supporter' is normally used for someone who advocates a specific purpose/thing, or is a follower of a specific purpose/thing. So to me, 'supporter for my mum' doesn't sound natural.
'He is a supporter of the Communist movement.'
'She is a supporter for the National Autistic Society.
'He is a Manchester United football team supporter.
