Selena Gomez is getting quite a bit of media attention lately. In weeks past the young former Disney actress was embroiled in a mess with Justin Bieber’s wife, and has also had to ask for people to treat each other more kindly on social media. Today, Gomez is praising a friend of hers who gave Selena her kidney.
As per E ONLINE, A little over five years ago, Gomez got a second chance at life when Francia Raísa voluntarily donated a kidney to help Gomez with her Lupus battle. Now, the “Same Old Love” singer is reiterating just how selfless the act was from her “best friend.”
“I will never ever, ever be more in debt to a person than Francia,” Selena shared in the March 10 episode of Apple TV+’s Dear… “The idea of someone not even second-guessing to be a donor was unbelievably overwhelming.”
Selena recalled the moment Francia agreed to get tested to see if she could be helpful. Within three days, the pair discovered they were a match.
“It was one of those moments where I felt watched over,” Selena explained. “I know I was so, so, so lucky. I understand that that doesn’t happen for a lot of people and I know the outcome of some of those situations and how serious they are, so I do not take it lightly that it’s happened to me that way.”
