Selena Gomez undergoes kidney transplant with help of actor Francia Raisa
Selena took to social media to inform about the latest development in her life and thanked her "beautiful friend" for gifting her a kidney.
"....there aren’t words to describe how I can possibly thank my beautiful friend Francia Raisa. She gave me the ultimate gift and sacrifice by donating her kidney to me. I am incredibly blessed. I love you so much sis," she said.
Selena shared a picture on Instagram where the singer was seen lying beside Francia at a hospital.
The singer said: "I’m very aware some of my fans had noticed I was laying low for part of the summer and questioning why I wasn’t promoting my new music, which I was extremely proud of. So I found out I needed to get a kidney transplant due to my Lupus and was recovering. It was what I needed to do for my overall health."
She thanked her family members and doctors for their support. "I want to publicly thank my family and incredible team of doctors for everything they have done for me prior to and post-surgery."
Apart from thanking her friend and well wishers, the 25-year old singer tried to spread awareness about Lupus and bust the misconceptions.
"Lupus continues to be very misunderstood but progress is being made," she said.
