She Raises Awareness About Kidney Disease

In addition to donating her kidney to pal Selena Gomez, Francia is passionate about spreading awareness about kidney disease. In honour of World Kidney Day in March, the actor used her story to educate others on it.

“I’ve kept my kidney donation process pretty private. However, I think I’ve gotten to a point in my life where I feel comfortable and confident in speaking about my experience, and using my platform to raise awareness . . . for the various kidney diseases that affect our population,” she tweeted. “While I wasn’t affected personally by kidney disease, I’ve seen the impacts of it firsthand and want to do my part to help educate others on it. So in honour of World Kidney Day, let’s talk about the impact of . . . kidney disease and how we can work to ensure those living with kidney disease are living well.”
