Selena Gomez recently received a new Kidney… From her best friend! The star has been open about her battle with Lupus and this new info is so heartwarming!
Lupus is one of the invisible illness that people tend to overlook. It is highly misunderstood and can really only be felt by those closest to someone that has been diagnosed. It mostly affects women and beyond that it is more prevalent in women with a more ethnic background.
Lupus is an autoimmune disease that can attack vital organs like the Kidneys, Lungs and even the skin. Essentially it will attack any form of human tissue. The body’s immune system mistakes its own cells as the enemy and fights healthy tissue.
Selena Gomez announced her battle with lupus a few years ago and recently disappeared from the spotlight leaving fans curious about why she hadn’t been promoting her new music.
That is why earlier today, she took to Instagram to share the happy news that her best friend had donated her kidney to Selena. That right there is friendship goals to the max!
“She gave me the ultimate gift and sacrifice by donating her kidney to me. I am incredibly blessed. I love you so much sis. “
