Recuperation journey: Raising awareness about organ donation

This morning I happened across a story about singer/actress Selena Gomez, who underwent a kidney transplant this summer.

Truth be told I don't know anything at all about her other than she was a child star.

Gomez is 25 now and she has lupus. Her best friend, actress Francia Raisa, gave her the ultimate gift of a kidney. 

I was happy to see that Gomez posted a photo of the two of them holding hands in adjoining hospital beds after their surgeries.

This publicity will no doubt help raise awareness about the importance of organ donation.
