SourceIt was just a few weeks ago when Elsa Torrejon received the most devastating news of her life.
"It's breast cancer," the surgeon said. "We have to operate."
When she arrived back at work a few hours later to tell her boss the grim results, the 50-year-old single mother of two was still reeling from the diagnosis. "You never want to hear that word," Torrejon says, wiping away the tears that still slip down her face.
She couldn't imagine her world could crumble any further. But a few days later, it did.
In her darkest moment of need, her heartless employers decided to yank away her job as well.
A native of Lima, Peru, Torrejon has worked as an English and Spanish-speaking leasing agent for Weston Property Management since May. Her bosses, Geri and Doug McDonald, knew she was being examined for a suspicious lump in her right breast in December and adjusted her hours so that she could go through a battery of tests.
