“I guess I got to the point where it was really kind of life or death,” Selena says.

“My kidneys were just done. That was it and I didn’t want to ask a single person in my life�and she volunteered and did it.”

Selena underwent the transplant due to her ongoing battle with lupus, which she first revealed back in 2015.
