Can anyone help me? I love this baby and don't know how to help. Is there any way it came be saved?

Update: I cleaned it off and put it in water with some green stems. I'm so sad.. 😞

It looks pretty crisp. But I would clip of a bit of the ends(clip off anything definitely dead) do a soak with fertilizer make sure the whole mix gets wet. Then let it drain and see if that sparks any growth.

Those stems still have some green and ivy is nigh on unkillable. It has a great chance of recovery as far as crispy plants go. Keep its soil moist but also avoid overwatering; plants without leaves don't photosynthesize as much so they use water a lot slower

I had one i rescued from my SIL that was pretty crispy after sitting in his office at work with no care or water lol. Its thriving now. I had to remove all the dead, crisp, and damaged leaves. Cleaned up the soil bed with old debris. Then set her a bit back from east facing window to get good morning light but not scorch while it recovered.
