Sad Money Tree - update

I posted here: https://www.reddit.com/r/plants/s/0KUOBN5reZ about a money tree I was sent that looked extremely sad after arrival...

It looked sad upon arrival and only got sader in my home. All the leaves went crispy and fell off, despite the soil being moist.

I've left it in a spot that gets morning light (but not all day) and watered once a week.

THER QUESTION - is this a sign of regeneration? See pic.

Is she coming back from the brink? 🥹🥹🥹
