A lady was fired after donating a kidney to save her boss’s life.

Debbie Stevens, 47, from Long Island, expressed her feelings of betrayal after her company fired her in 2012.

“I decided to become a kidney donor for my boss, and she won my heart,” Debbie told The Post at the time.

“I feel really deceived. This has been an extremely painful and unpleasant experience for me. She just grabbed this present, placed it on the ground, and kicked it.

Debbie first met her supervisor, Jackie Brucia, in January 2009, when she began working at Atlantic Automotive Group on Long Island, according to legal documents.

While she moved away in 2010, she subsequently returned to Long Island and stopped by the office, where she discovered that Brucia required a kidney transplant.

Stevens stated that Brucia informed her that a potential donor had been identified, but that if necessary, she would be willing to donate one of her kidneys to her former colleague.

“Brucia… told her, ‘You never know, I may have to take you up on that offer one day,'” according to the paperwork.

Shortly after the encounter, Stevens decided to return to Long Island and asked Brucia if she might continue her previous employment.

When she returned to work for the firm, Brucia summoned her to her office.

According to Stevens, Brucia stated, “My donor was denied.” Are you serious when you stated that? I said, ‘Sure, absolutely.’ She was my employer, and I respected her. It’s simply who I am.” I did not want her to die.”

Although Stevens was not a match for Brucia, physicians authorized her to donate her kidney to someone else so that Brucia could advance up the waiting list.

“I felt like I was giving her life back,” she explained.

“My kidney ended up going to St. Louis, Missouri, and hers came from San Francisco.”

Stevens claimed that she had problems after the operation and felt pressured to return to work.

She alleges that one day, after leaving the workplace sick, Brucia contacted her from home and said, “What are you doing? Why are you not at work? I told her I didn’t feel well.

“She responded, ‘You can’t come and leave whenever you want.'” People will think you’re getting special treatment.”

Stevens said she was denied her office and extra possibilities, was eventually demoted to a dealership 50 miles away, and suffered from mental health difficulties.

“She just started treating me horribly, viciously, and inhumanely after the surgery,” Stevens told ABCNews.com.

“It was almost like she hired me just to get my kidney.”

Her legal team eventually sent a letter to the corporation, and she was dismissed.

AAG and Brucia did not reply to ABC News or The Post’s requests for comment.

However, Brucia’s husband, James, told one reporter that the charges were ‘far from the truth’ and that she ‘didn’t fire anyone.’
