Yet another rescue purchase; and now?

Meet Esperanza, the saddest plant at the grocery store last night. Figured her best shot at survival was in my house, but now that I've gotten her home and cleaned out the pot debris... whew. Thoughts? Should I just try to salvage that single large leaf, or can this leggy, lopsided sweetie be saved? #Echeveria

@BravePinkpoui I don't understand. Did the little leaves all fall off or something? You make it sound like the large leaf is all that's left, but that doesn't make sense when looking at the picture.
She has six leaves of varying (smaller) sizes, all at the top of a 1.25" stem. The pot debris consisted of around 15 additional leaves.
Maybe you can chop and prop?
Update: A bit of gentle propping (but no chopping) and Esperanza seems to be on her way to health and better symmetry. Thanks all!
