Selena Gomez Speaks Out About Kidney Transplant From Her Best Friend Francia Raisa | TODAY
My friends won’t even let me borrow a pencil
they noy your friends honey...
not*
oh, ms. believer lol. Right?💯🙃
oh, ms. believer 😥
There not friends ffs
My wife needs a kidney and I am not a match. Her parents did not qualify due to health issues. She has been on dialysis for years and is only 26. We pray every night that she is blessed with a kidney:(
My husband is in the same situation, he was 28 when he was diagnosed, now 29 we've been over a year on dialysis we pray every night as well. It is awful :(
There is a program where you family donates a kidney and your family will receive one. Your wife is a strong woman to be able to go through such difficulty with her health for so long.
alot maple Everyone is entitled when it comes to surviving.
Even you. If you were the one dying, I'm certain you would feel entitled to whatever you needed to save your life.
What is your problem?
alot maple Please stop. You are the most annoying thing I've encountered today.
Anonymous Anonymous I'm so sorry for the nasty replies. I was on dialysis for a LONG time before I finally found a donor. I know most kidney patients are old, so if your wife wants a kidney friend her age, please let me know! Won't put my email here for obvious trolls, but we can get in touch another way if she wants!
Well this did not age well. Not saying francia and Selena have to still be best friends or whatever but Selena referring to her simply as “someone I know” after she saved her LIFE is just cold, unforgivable, and a horrible look. My view of Selena is forever changed.
U are misinterpreting Selena's words. btw Francia isnt someone that Selena knows?, she saved her life and they're (or were) friends however she still being someone that Selena knows
Dude you're slow!!!!!!!!!!!
Same .
Of course it has changed your view. Y’all are so fickle and get outraged based on the way the wind blows
I completely agree.
The only person I’d give my kidney is my mom and my future children. Losing an organ is no joke
And ur husband
@@mimmi3995 and then he divorces you later
th-cam.com/video/GXmEzZlDbCE/w-d-xo.html
I agree
I'd also give it to my brother if he was still alive or my best friend who I know from kindegarten. You have to realize that the person will probably die if you don't help them. Would you really let your best friend just die when both of you could live? Then I guess I don't want to be your friend, lol.
If someone gives you a kidney, that’s what you call a REAL friend.
I'm about to start the process. I cannot stand watching my friend go through dialysis. I just can't.
My friend's friends who started the process to help her never got back to her and never spoke of it again. I promised her and myself that I would never let her down like this.
Agree
EnchantedWings how did it go? i hope ur friend is alright🥺
@@EnchantingWings1 God bless her 🙏
@@sonicgirl3582 due to my mental health history (but mostly because they're wanting me to have kids that I've never wanted), I couldn't complete the process. They have said that i need to wait for about 5 years to see how I'm doing and I could do it then. Even if it won't be to that friend at that point in time, I'm happy to donate to a stranger who will need it in the future.
She was an angel Who saved Selena's life.... Really a true friend
true and i hope she got some money of out it....
@@Baensky donating means doing something without getting paid
Honestly, Selena didn't have to do this to her best friend, there can be health complications after kidney donation. Selena could have literally asked and thousands of her fans would have agreed to donate their kidneys.
@@julianbanks1885 so you're saying a random fan deserves possible complications? Wtf
@@julianbanks1885 you are kinda stupid or just a little kid
She found out she was a match from Selena! The doctor notified Selena first before Francia. Selena then FaceTimed Francia and told her "we are a match!" That's how Francia found out. Francia never had a choice of wether or not to do it because she had no time to think about it.
@@lastinghappiness3977 None of us know the exact details of how their convo went down… so we shouldn’t act like we know. If you were in the position of having a lupus and close to dieing, you wouldn’t be excited to tell your friend who volunteered to get tested, that they were a match??? I don’t think she necessarily guilt tripped her, but We definitely know for a fact that the doctor in charge caused a breach of confidentiality and did not legally do their job correctly. They are the only one to blame.
What is the source?
But Francia I presume was a candidate to be a kidney donor, wasn't she?
@@aaaa.6430 ? She did the tests but it doesnt mean anything
@@miraisarutob so what for she did tests?
Francia is a good person. It sounds like she was uneducated on kidney donation and I hope she’s doing ok now. She did a truly selfless thing.
@@lastinghappiness3977 ofc she was 😢
2:18 that picture really shows. Selina looking like she is getting what she wants and Francia looking like she is unsure of this rushed decision that will affect her and her health the rest of her life because Selina guilt tripped her. Ungrateful because Selina was drinking TONS of alcohol after the surgery even though doctors said not to drink any alcohol at all which is most likely why an artery flipped and she had to go back and get it fixed
@@OverRule1That’s crazy! 🙀
@@OverRule1I mean, I had heard about what happened with Selena’s artery flipping already but nevertheless I still find it crazy tbh.
@@OverRule1 you live on tabloids don’t you
The part where francia stated that she literally had to write a will because there is no guarantee you will wake up that has to be mind boggling that us a huge eye opener
I had surgery to remove my kidney when I was 3. I honestly think kidney surgery is an amazing life saver that comes with a LOT of risks. It's amazing to live life without a care. ❤
That’s why the weekend says in “call out my name” I ALMOST CUT A PIECE OF MYSELF FOR YOUR LIFE “ guess I was just another pit stop until u made up ur mind u just waisted my time”
I had to do that a few weeks ago since I am donating a kidney to my dad in a couple of weeks. And yes it can be very scary to write a will but it also puts your life into perspective.
Not “literally”
The fact that the story of a celeb moves you enough to call it an eye opener reflects on your naivety, this batch of celebrities of which Selena Gomez is a part of are all spoilt brats and don't care about human values. To see youngsters fuming & cry over some Bieber betraying her is baffling, Fans fight on social media for people who couldn't care less is sad
Please look for a better class of people as role models.
It really sucks that no one thinks you're struggling unless you look like you're dying on the outside.
Mental and physical health are important. If you're mentally unstable, side effects will show physical. While if you're physical unstable, it may begin to effect your mental health.
Both are equally terrifying.
But y would someone just think youre struggling if u look well on the outside
Shadow people maybe. I think most realize people who appear to have it all together and look amazing have troubles and deal with issues just like the rest of us. We don't know what goes on behind closed doors and would be nieve to think just because a person looks good they don't have health problems and struggles of various conditions.
That's chronic illness for you
L A it’s called an invisible illness. I have one and it sucks so much. People never realise how hard it is.
Francia is sooo special. She's a real superwoman
Now Francia is just someone Selena knows.
Exactly
Disturbing
Nah, she’s making her own way further in Hiw I Met Your Father. I’m sure they still are in contact and thankful. You can’t expect people to be indebted forever and a giver dosent expect a constant gratefulness… it was a gift of life and gift in general. It was her spirit wanting to help and that will always bond them.
I respect Francia more then selena if she donate her kidney to selena
@@anthonylovato-mares5038That’s a beautiful way of putting it. 😌💕
Wish to have a friend like that because that’s all you need
The right spelling - ALLAHU AKBAR
PietreADI -- Get a life man. Seriously? You choose wrong platform to show the ugliness you have inside your rotten soul! May God enlighten your heart!
PietreADI its true what they say "Racism comes from people who have no brain" they're idiots.. or kids who are idiots as well.. so get back to playing roblox kid.. life is more than what u see through TV and internet.
who knows if they did. At least an insurance and health plane if she will need help later with only one kidney. If I had a lot of money of course I would give a lot to a friend who is willing to save my live, (hopefully the kidney will last 10y+) wouldn't you?
Well said Mr. Howl Pendragon.
Shoutout To Her Friend ❤️
Jamarrea2x but she's more famous than u
AKANAS Right😂
+Jamarrea2x lmfao yes they are salty XD
Can someone please tell Selena she needs to stop consuming animal proteins, she needs to go on a plant based diet void of animal products, her symptoms will be alleviated within months.
She has an auto immune disease where the body attacks its self, many animal proteins like beef, and dairy look a lot like other proteins around the body like the joints, hair follicles, and kidneys,
it also could be from yeast, so she should cut out refined carbs like cakes and breads. the worst that will happen is that she feels a lot better health wise, but still ravaged by the disease. then she can go back to a standard western diet, but trust me and the science she needs to do this..
one of her fans or friends please contact her about her dietary lifestyle change.
she needs to eat lots of fruit and veg, beans/legumes, lentils, starchy tubers, plantain, and flax seeds or a source of clean omega3's, and herbs ans spices like turmeric.

I am in the process of being a kidney donor. My surgery is scheduled for next month. TH-cam showed me this video. This is a sign that what I am doing is right. I pray the Lord to give me strength and health. Update: my surgery has been scheduled for May 19th. I cannot wait to give my Dad a new life. Thanks for the ❤️
I pray for you ❤️❤️
@@watermelonsugar6016 thank you! ❤️🙏
Pray you'll make it through healthily and smoothly ❤️
@@MusicCoverSelena thank you! I am little scared but I am trying to remain positive . I am donating a kidney to my dad so I cannot wait for him to have a new life. It has been heartbreaking seeing him getting weaker by the day.
Hey..did your surgery go well...and you are doing a great thing girl proud off you😊..and always stay strong..my prayers are with you..♥️💜
“You feel like Francia saved your life”
“Because she did”
i knew about francia for years , from acting. the fact that donated a KIDNEY to someone else... is brave. she had her own life to worry about, so yes praise francia 🥴
what’s the purpose of the emoji?
yaniii tell?
Tf is wrong with you? Y'all have no real life and friends who love you and it SHOWS.... I would donate a kidney for my best friend any day and I'm sure she would do the same too
@barblenatortwt4971 stop wearing g strings
I am a kidney donor, and it is really painful but I would do it again if if I could 😊 the way you can change someone’s life is so amazing. ( I donated to my husband. )
seewendy1 does it change you're life like health wise once the surgery is fully healed?
La Flame
No. The body can perfectly function with just one kidney. For you to be a donor, you have to be perfectly healthy (no diabetes, no high blood pressure, no autoimmune diseases, no kidney cysts, no chronic viral infection, such as HIV or hepathites). You'll be monitored as any other person should be for chronical diseases, such as the ones I mentioned.
But your energy, your activities won't be affect what so ever.
It's so sweet to hear more stories like mine. I just donated my kidney to my fiancé last December. I tell people every day I would do it all again in a heartbeat! I pray that you and your husband continue to be full of life and health :)
La Flame my mom went through kidney faliure and she was on dialysis for 10 months before her transplant it was awful. Blessings to you and your husband
God bless you ❤️
they might have been compatible for the kidney but i don't think they are compatible as friends... Selena doesn't give Francia the place she deserves after this
Youre saying that because a sentence, stupid, you should watch the video when Selena Gomez won the Billboard award for Women of the year and all the tweets from Selena being grateful with Francia
@@joshuaog bro selena is not gonna give you a meet and greet for stanning so hard lol.
Where was Francia in the documentary ?
a lot of things weren’t in the documentary. the kidney transplant was in the documentary with a picture of the both of them
And now you don’t even hear of Francia 😭
Not true at all she’s on 2 new shoes she did life size 2 she’s working on a movie and she’s a yoga instructor at her OWN studio
@@kingwalter_😀 It's great she has new shoes but she is also on a show called Grown-ish.
I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself.😁
She’s actually doing great and she has her own show
because they have private lives
Maybe because she's busy
This made me cry so much. What a beautiful friendship and an amazing testament that good really does exist in this world.
Yes,this is a good testament to the fact that there are still really awesome people in this world who would do stuff like this...I'm blessed to have a best friend who would do something like this for me and I for her..and I would do this for anyone who needed a kidney whether I knew them or not..I understand something like this is not to be taken lightly,but I would do this for someone because it would feel like the right thing to do if I were a match
Cora LovesGlam me too
ganymedeIV4 money can never compare to a fricken kidney
2396 p yes, yes it can
2396 p wow, you are dumb, you can buy one from China, for something like $50,000, yes it may be from a person that was killed illegally, but still, free kidney
So, 5 years later, youtube recommend me this today. THE SHADE 💀
Imagine donating a kidney to your friend just for them to cut you off
If i was her i would've kept my kidney
@@cocaineminor4420 haha same
*"BECAUSE SHE DID. SHE SAVED MY LIFE"* 😍😍😍😍😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Francia is one in a million friend. What bravery.
I worked for a Nephrologist(kidney Dr.) A most the time family members want to donate but are not compatible. We had patients that got a kidney donated by a neighbor, a church member or a friend of a friend that heard their story. It's good to know that there's still good people in this world.
I still dont understand why Selena got the award..her friend should have!
@keke33 fefe33 she is getting praise sis but they mean that Selena got a award but what about her bff I mean she have to get one becoz she donated her kidney and it's a lot
@@lizzies.6963 wtf are you people talking about on the comments? All those things are fake lmao, they're still friends and Selena doesn't drink, stop spreading false information.
Because it's awards for music.
@@Broken_Hearts_Gallery yeah cuz its from billboard
@Ally Lee if it's for music, why did Selena get an award just cuz she had a transplant? Shouldn't the one with the best music get it?
I don't get people who say she did this for the money. Even if she did gain money her life was in danger as much as Selena's life. She could've died, Selena as well. And no money are important as your life. No money can bring back your life. Don't believe she did it for the money.
This is an example of pure love, friendship & altruism.
thegossipswan009 no one had surgery
What do you mean?
Hailey Smith suuuure. Get your tin hat on
Surgery isn't that dangerous. I should know, I've had way worse surgeries.
The Gaming Shark Did you watch the video?? She said both her kidneys were dead.
Where Best Friend that would give up their own kidney that was the greatest gift that is true love and that is a true best friend I'm glad that Selena Gomez's okay
Hi
Gerard Johnson *Gomezs'
If I had a bestfriend I would do it without questions 💋
I tell my best friend I would give her a kidney. I lover her dearly
Ariel Graham that’s so sweet
Funny cause selena is more famous and known is praised as the hero when is the other way around
This video should never be removed.
And should be a source for anyone donating.
People donating should know there is a 99.7% success rate. Donating a kidney is a brave thing to do and a major sacrifice but the likelihood of not waking up from the surgery is extremely thin.
Imagine dealing with that on top of all the pressure from her career and the hate she gets (mostly because of who she has dated.) She's super strong.
Athenathe SheWolf Im not a very religious person, but I do believe in Karma. She got what she deserved after all the flack she got for just living her amazing life. Her friend was like a gift from the Gods, as if they were matched way back when, just so she can years later, save her life really. Just amazing, I like Selena, she is funny, talented and gorgeous, what is not to like and so humble ....
Youbmean justin well dates*
Athenathe SheWolf she's in front of a camera. She emotionally cripples herself to get your attention
Kevin Shaughnessy And I personal think she can not sing
Athenathe SheWolf ikr, I have been a selenator for almost 9 years now and I always will be. I asked teachers in my school if they like Selena Gomez and 4 of them said no just because of who she has dated. And those teacher r so mean to me and my friend because we are selenators and they say that we are so annoying because we like Selena. 💝
God, that Francia woman is something else. She's amazing.
Hanisah Zakaria exactly 💖 she is amazing!

The fact that her best friend was a match is a miracle in itself! 💕
Wow what are the odds her best friend would be a match! Continued prayers for you Selena🙏🏼
The Dormuns zero odds cuz fake
NOPE. TRUMP AMERICA. I rather burn my kidney than to have another person take it from me. May I rest in peace with all my organs because that is the American way.
The Dormuns she didn't 😂
The Dormuns she stole it
alot maple Troll Bait.
Selena is a very classy lady. I’m so thankful she was able to find a match. Both girls have such a bright future ahead of them. Many prayers for these young girls.
jnp
jillbeful
I pray for Selena every single day she’s really a sweetheart
jillbeful I mean it wouldn’t be that serious! People die everyday and as important as her life is it’s not like she has made this huge impact in life! She isn’t a culture shifter or mother Teresa! She is a pop singer with a lot of fans and boyfriend drama! I’m Sure she has touched people with her music! You make it sound like the world would crumble without her! Let’s thank GOD she is here but not put all our life’s eggs in the Selena Gomez basket!
Everybody with a kidney is a match!! As long it’s a kidney!
Francia, an example of what is called True Friend! Francia and Selena both of them are so brave! I'm so happy that they're living a healthy life now!
Those two women are my heroes. I lost all kidney function for 8 months and had to do dialysis from a GVHD attack following an Allogenic bone marrow transplant for AML leukemia. I didn't urinate one drop for 8 months. That was the most miserable 8 months of my life in so many ways. Praise God my kidneys went back to working one night. The kidneys regulate so many things, even your red blood cell production and potassium levels. Glad they got that huge problem repaired.
The fact that Francia was a match was a god send a true miracle this is true sisterhood
How many people would Donate a kidney for one of their friends if they told you you could possibly die???
GQ Rugged i know in my case... none of them
I’d still do it.
I can't... the only kidney I have left. I had a surgery so, it would never work.
Ima keep it real wichu chief...no
I have no friends so...
I just had a kidney transplant 4 days ago. It hurts. I never expected to go through this. I hate that I'm putting my family through this. I hope to feel better soon.
There is no greater love than laying your life for someone else. She gave a part of herself to save someone else. That is ❤
Wow! I had no idea Selena went through all that and to have a friend like Francia who was willing to sacrifice so much for her is amazing. This is so inspirational. I have so much respect for both women. ❤️
Quynh Pham lol or the stolen black chicks liver named kenneka jenkins
Quynh Pham ❤️❤️❤️
Quynh Pham I respect them so much
Quynh Pham yes
ikr, they're both heroes ;)
My little brother is in need of a kidney he is only 23. I pray that we find someone soon.

good luck on the search.
I have a healthy kidney, I only charge 1 trillion dollars for it.
Praying won‘t help

I wish to god to send somebody for him
Blessings to you always Francia.
This is the most beautiful story of human kindness & love. These are 2 amazing, strong beautiful humans❤❤ What an incredible thing for a friend to do & the fact that she just instantly volunteered is just amazing....what a wonderful friend. Selena literally wouldn't be alive without her...crazy!
I once asked my best friend for ONE of her fries and she said no, yet Selena is over her being offered kidneys. Good for u👍👏❤
Safiya Marcelle legit
Life and death is much different
Selena has money though.
Saying no to a chip may have been a joke, I do that to my friends but I would do anything for their life
Well it was one kidney you only need one you have two so kidney not kidneys
My mom has been on dialysis for 11 years and she is finally at the top of the list and going through the process of getting a kidney transplant😁❣️
Miranda Gonzales yay!!!!! How's she now!!!!!
She’s still getting tests but she’s doing great!😁
Miranda Gonzales congrats love ❤️
Thank you❤️
Miranda Gonzales Sending well wishes to you and your mom 😊
Omg this made me so emotional I know that couldn’t have been easy to do. She is a real true friend❤️

Of course she is such a good friend. But I'll tell you why I think this story is not amazing but REALLY STUPID:
They could have spared themselves all this struggle!
Urine Therapy heals the kidneys (AND ANYTHING ELSE, LUPUS, ETC) in a totally natural and 100% effective way. FREE OF ANY COST AND ANY RISK.
A urine fast of 30-60 days would have been enough to get Selena's body back to perfect health. Look up "THE WATER OF LIFE", by John Armstrong. It's a free downloadable pdf.
Kirstie Roche not a friend, Best Friend
OMG how can a person be this generous?????!!!!!!
It’s Jojo how can people be so greedy
You'd be surprised
I would do it.
Especially after having a major surgery? 😍😄
@@LeftHandedGamble bcoz its a fkn kidney and you're risking your health
She is such a great friend. She's a life saver
her friend is a real one.
my mom was a match for my dad and was able to donate a kidney to my him, who’s kidneys had shut down due to a high stage of kidney cancer. it was a one in a million chance that a couple would be matches. I really do know how intense this all is, and the fact that they both got through it together is so incredibly good. my parents were there for each other, and they were there for each other. both of my parents had to write out wills, too, and it was probably one of the most surreal things my siblings and I had gone through. I remember us sitting together at breakfast with my mom telling us that there really wasn’t a 100% guarantee that they’d both survive. they both have scars, but it’s okay. my dad is so so grateful for my mom, and vice versa. they’re both so strong for being able to get through this💕
This really made me smile. Good to read this
My mom doesn’t even let anyone donate for her, my dad said her do it but unfortunately she thinks it’s against the way she was raised, that it’s morally wrong and selfish.
I wish my mom could be more selfish, sometimes it’s a good thing.
My mom needed a kidney and my oldest brother, who was about 25 at the time, was a perfect match, but they found some issues that suggested he would likely also go through kidney failure later in life. 25 years later, he's in stage 4 kidney failure and is waiting for a transplant.
My mom is alive today because of a woman in California who died in a car crash and happened to be a perfect match. This is why being an organ donor is so important, even if you don't want to make that sacrifice when you're alive. If I'm going to die anyway, I would hope my death could save someone else's life.
My mom donated a kidney to my dad also. They claim their match makes them believe they are soulmates. It was meant to be so she could save his life. I love your story. It’s amazing and takes an amazingly strong person to donate a part of their body to save someone else’s life.
Aww so sweet!
What a hero of a friend!!
and selena just announced that her bestest friend is taylor swift.
So non of her family members were a match?? 🤔🤔
i just cant believe some people disliked this video....
Okay , so some of these comments are ridiculous. Most of you aren't seeing the real picture. Just because she's a celebrity and had the money for surgery and that she was lucky to have a best friend willing to donate , doesn't mean she had it easy. There are so many people struggling with kidney failure and unless you go through something so traumatic you will never truly understand the situation they are in. Instead of throwing hate please focus on what's important here. All my respect to Francia for so kindly donating her organ to save her friend's life and to Selena for going through so much over these five years. This is an inspiration to all those people and their families who our battling their health and a hope that things will get better for them
This is stupid. Their point is how quickly she was treated. People wait months for a kidney. We're not saying she had it easy. We're saying she didnt have it hard for as long as most people do. Smh
trus me she had ot really easy this coming froma person with critical kidney failure and dialysys isnt working on me she had it super easy i already went through 3 surgeries to make this thing work and nothing work
khantastic you wait years not months you wait up to 10 years my mom did waiting for a kidnay she was on hemo for 16 years
Khantastic Exactly!
I'm talking about those who complained that she had it easy and were throwing unwanted hate. I am absolutely not denying the fact that she had the money and didn't have to wait so long. All I'm saying is that the message here isn't to be demotivated because someone famous had it easy but to believe that one day you'll be lucky enough to find a light through whatever dark time your going through.
This is the definition of true friendship. Love you both!
Very brave and kind of Francia to do that. I can only imagine the fear in that situation before surgery and the long healing process after it.
Everybody needs a friend like Francia
Bless Francia, she's such an amazing person and she's always been my favorite out of Selena's group of friends.
Yes! SHE IS AN ANGEL. Thank god for people like her. She truly saved Selena's life.
Who?
This aged interesting..
Francia is such a great person I mean not even family members are such kind like Francia is to her friend. She is so great❤️
What a beautiful person. They will be sisters forever

not anymore...
They don't even talk anymore.

Selena Gomez +Francia Raisa = True Friendship

Angels are not always beings with wings. You don’t need a 1m followers. Just 1 true friend.
Thank you Selena for giving so many of us lupus patients hope 💜🦋
When people talk about ultimate friendship, this is what it looks like. A bond that will last for eternity. Inspiring young ladies, she never asked her friend and her friend never asked her for consent. She offered and she accepted...that's love. I don't know why people desire anything less, this is what love looks like and we should seek the same in every relationship from ourselves and others. God bless you both, it's a refreshing story from the nonsense that has dominated the news cycle for weeks. Phew!

I received i kindey transplant from my best friend and it truly is the best friendship we we're both 21 at the time
eternity? nah
yes!
Prime example of a SJW libtard
Both of them are incredibly brave and it just shows how strong their friendship is as well xx
SJW libtard
Turquoise Cheetah do you know how much it takes to be told you're dying and still having the strength and courage to keep going to WANT to keep going? Many people GIVE up in life they get really depressed and no longer want to fight. It takes so much strength to smile again to keep living. To go in countless hospital visits and have the courage to go into surgeries that could end your life? Selena is so strong and brave period. I can't u had to ask how is she brave.
Btw I'm your 1k like and I agree
huh?
I can’t stop crying... I love both of them!
My mom died due to kidney failure it's been 6-7 days since she left us... apparently even if the kidney is transplanted, it won't last long and that's the fact which makes us lose all hope...but we all appreciate Selena's friend who risk all her life to donate her kidney to let her live too♥️
Ur mom's kidney transplanted after kidney failure?
Yall forgot to mention the fact that franzia didnt even know if she actually wanted to do it. Selena was told it was gonna happen before franzia so she didnt even get to have a real choice
She volunteered so she Obviously wanted to do it
Leeney Lin you can volunteer in the moment, but after thinking things through, change your mind.
@@Banana-el5dh but she Obviously wanted to do because sel is her bff. But with such an important thing u don't just say I'll do just do change ur mind later, and she did everything that was necessary in a day instead of 6 month because she wanted to do it. Her bff live was in danger and she was a match and wanted to save her
Leeney Lin she volunteered to get tested to see if she was a match. She probably didn’t think she would’ve been
@@JB-so6eb sorry for something like that u don't just say 'oh yeah I get tested, but actually I don't want to do it'. And honestly I don't know what your problem is, it's their life and they decided to do it
No matter how rich or popular you are you can’t escape from being sick it’s a human thing atleast we have good people
That's true sister
She literally saved her Life by giving her kidney. And selena forgot her like every other person and said Taylor is her bestfriend😐
Let's see if taylor would donate a kidney
That picture at 2:20 says it all 😅Selena is relieved she finally getting a huge weight of her shoulder and francia is smiling but behind that smile is totally unsureness and terror 😢
And now they don't even talk anymore. I guess once you give your kidney, your friend's like BYE
That last part was funny I'm sorry😭
shae baybii hahaha thanks 🤣
Why aren't they talking no more?
and how did you know that ? You’re friend with both of em or sum?
Worst part is that she's been seen drinking alcohol :/
My boyfriend's kidneys are failing, he's on dialysis at the moment. I wanted to donate my kidney but I'm the wrong blood type, his mum is going through the checks to see if she can donate. I'm so worried for them both, but seeing these two so healthy helps a lot.
Raspberrytealeaves that’s so crazy, I really wish the best for all of you, you’ll all get through this
I wish the best of luck for you and your boyfriend and the whole family. Stay strong
Raspberrytealeaves guess you need a new boyfriend eh
this is like cancer once you get a kidney you can rejcted any time is my case right now
Raspberrytealeaves yyy Mena
Selena is really a luckiest one who have such a friend lyk an engel....
Franca was somehow tricked into this transplant as Doctor told Selena first and Selina facetime franca and told her. She was in a delima. I don't think it was accidentally but franca is an angel doing it.
Francia better be Selena's maid of honour!
thisisyourusernameondrugs yes she should
She at least deserves that and more.
She will be.
Belive me she is. Selena type person who honer every fan.
OMG this made me cry of joy that her friend is so kind. This is the Ultimate gift of all. Gob Bless her💖

These two people are both so amazing and blessed. Francia is such a great person. And Selena is such a deserving person. I thank God that they were living together. Two great people showing the rest of the world how to love one another.
Bless your soul Francia. You're a true friend
My husband is giving my sister his kidney on August 30th
Praying both recover well💕
I pray that they both have a healthy and fast recovery❤️.
Thank you!
May Allah grant them a fast recovery InshAllah ameen
good luck! praying that the surgery will be successful for the both of them 💖💘💕
Unfortunately there's no cure for lupus 😕 let's pray that it doesn't attack any other organ
Raina Moon selena just Said that there's no definitive cure yet, there's research being done and some progress were made but not definitive cure
My friend had lupus and through prayer and treatment she got better n doesn’t have it anymore.
Raina Moon it's no cure for it
I mean you just have to live with it lets pray they find a cure
OF COURSE THERE IS A CURE FOR LUPUS
They could have spared themselves all this struggle
Urine Therapy heals ANYTHING and of course it heals as well the kidneys, in a totally natural and 100% effective way.
A urine fast of 30-60 days would have been enough to get Selena's body back to perfect health. Look up "THE WATER OF LIFE", by John Armstrong. It's a free downloadable pdf.
1 in a million.. a golden pure heart and caring friend..
That's amazing that you did that for her that's really hard work
Heart warming
Agreed
I am actually not surprised her closest friend was a match - science has shown we are often attracted to people with whom we share similar physical biology. I also am a transplant patient, with Lupus like Selena. I waited 7 years, it nearly killed me, destroyed my health and my body and my children went through a lot. She was very very fortunate to not have to wait.
Being a match for organ donation doesn't really say a lot about genetic similarity. Your siblings/parents aren't necessarily always going to be matches, while some stranger from across the world might be the perfect match.
Urine Therapy heals ANYTHING, of course including the kidneys, in a total natural and 100% effective way.
A urine fast of 30-60 days would have been enough to get Selena's body back to perfect health. Look up "THE WATER OF LIFE", by John Armstrong. It's a free downloadable pdf. THIS STORY IS SO STUPID and of course it only get coverage because the medical establishment and Big Pharma own the press. All media is involved in the business and does not want TRUTHS like Urine Therapy and other natural healing methods to come to the public.
These two girls could have spared themselves all the struggle and everyone in this world can heal ANYTHING with the URINE THERAPY.
OK, well, there is something very biologically similar between the two, then - does that make you happy?
Pardon my bluntness, but you have absolutely NO understanding of kidney disease, and NO idea what you are talking about. Someone could end up dead following such advice. Be careful with what you are enthusiastic about. I have studied natural/alternative medicine for 30 years, and there is VERY little that one can do about stage 4 nephritis. What happens to Lupus patients is a progressive DESTRUCTION of very fine nephron tubes inside the kidney - they are not reapair-able, they do not grow back, they do not heal or recover. Once they are damaged, that is IT. The kidney function declines, the patient gets dialysis, a transplant, or dies, once the damage reaches a certain level. If there were a natural cure for Lupus, I guarantee you it would be in use. Not to say that diet isn't helpful, but the problem is much bigger than that. The Antibiotic (low-dose) Protocol for Rheumatic Disease is very effective, but it doesn't make hospitals or doctors or drug companies nearly as much money as the poison medications and the decline in our health, so they don't bother.
Urine is one's own perfect medicine. Do some research. Urine therapy is a viable path that anyone can take, for urine is free and it works 100%. Read John Armstrong's book to learn all about it: "The water of life". The body can heal anything when one stops interfering and practicing Urine Therapy is the best way to support the body instead of interfering. Everyone becomes their own perfect healer.
Its so sad that she has been through, I'm glad shes better now and I'm crying
going back to this interview i just realized how stressed Selena looks here. You can see how tired she was but still keep on going. We love you Selena.
