Default 1995 Camry door handle

Hello Camry folk.
Last night my daughter broke off part of the front passenger side door handle just getting in... it was obviously somewhat weak. I would like to ask if there is a strong bonding glue that I can attach this piece... or not.
I checked on google but found only directions to replace a broken lock which includes taking off the inside door cover and screws and unplugging electrics. The lock still works well so I hope I won't need to do all of that.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Are you cool with ugly AF? Epoxy a slim piece of aluminum to the existing left over tab on both sides and it should last a bit.
Obviously, the right and best thing to do, is replace the unit. Check eBay for a better deal, unless you have a good junkyard near by.

Good morning and thank you Patonium for replying.
Your idea is a good one and doable, just need to find and shape a piece of aluminum per your suggestion and get some epoxy. I bet it will hold well.
For sure I need to check out eBay for a full and working unit just in case.
Thank you again. .
