Help with the translation,please

Hello everyone. I've been surfing the net when I found this quite unusual expression "prove a boon". Google does not want to help me with definition.
So what does it mean?
Thanks!

Please provide the context. It might be prove (to be) a boon, but without any other part of the sentence, it is impossible to guess.

The infinitive has been elided, which is OK.

A boon is something favorable or advantageous.
