This summer, Raísa will turn 30, and she already has big plans for the future. They had to take her into emergency surgery and get a vein from her leg and build a new artery to keep my kidney in place.
A few hours after our surgery, I woke up and had a text from her that said, ‘I’m really scared.’ My kidney was very active, and when it turned I broke an artery. “I didn’t want to eat, I didn’t want to drink anything. It turned out Raísa was a match, and last summer she underwent the procedure to give Gomez a kidney transplant-a three-hour surgery for each. I don’t know what I’m going to do, the waitlist is seven to 10 years.’ And it just came out of me, and I said, ‘I’ll get tested.’ I called her assistant behind her back to get the information, and that’s how the process started.” I was like, ‘What is wrong with you?’ She said, ‘I need a new kidney. Then she threw it on the floor, and she fell to the floor and started crying. She was asking me about my day and she grabbed a water bottle out of the fridge and tried to open it and couldn’t. “We all have our moments, so I just let her do her thing, I didn’t ask questions. “She went to go get tests, and she came home one day and she was serious,” Raísa said. While cohabiting, Gomez’s lupus began to take a turn for the worse. “She said, ‘We can be homeless together,’” Raísa laughed.
Why don’t we ever hang out?’ Then we’ve just been inseparable.”Īfter nearly a decade of friendship, Raísa moved in with Gomez, who was living in a temporary accommodation. One day she called me and was like, ‘Hey, I don’t have any friends. But we just kept running into each other after that and talking about boys.
At the time I had a boyfriend, and she did, too-I think she was dating Nick -and we were like, ‘Oh my God, we’re so cute.’ And then we broke up with them at the same time. “Disney and ABC Family had the stars of their shows go to the children’s hospital, and we were in the same group,” Raísa recalled. It was during this period that Raísa met a then-teenage Selena Gomez, who was starring on the Disney Channel at the time. The show was a hit, and Raísa, like lead Shailene Woodley, went from unknown up-and-comer to teen favorite overnight. When the show did as well as it did, I was like, ‘What is happening?’ I was a senior in high school for a month, and then next day I’m having to fill out a W2 and I don’t know what that is. She would remain in high school, albeit fictionally, for a bit longer, quickly scoring a series-regular role on ABC Family’s The Secret Life of the American Teenager, which aired from 2008 to 2013. How are you?’ I was like, ‘What is my life right now? I should be a senior in high school.’” I remember standing next to Beyoncé while filming and just being like, ‘Hi. “All of Destiny’s Child came to set, because Solange was in the movie. “As a cheerleader! After I got kicked off the squad!” she laughed, in disbelief. Ironically, her first major role came shortly after in Bring It On: All or Nothing, in which she played, yep, a cheerleader. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Raísa, an avid dancer, began acting in high school, after she was abruptly kicked off her school’s cheerleading squad for missing a single practice. Of course, there was a lot that lead up to that moment. I had a moment at TRL where the world stopped, and she was sitting there, and everything was speeding around us, and I looked at her and gave her a look that said, ‘It’s all happening.’ It’s insane.” “One of my best friends was with me, and I remember two years ago sitting on her couch in Los Angeles and saying, ‘What are we doing?’ We were both single, we were frustrated with work, we didn’t know what was next. Being on the MTV show was “a teenage dream come true,” she said. The magnitude of what she did hit Raísa a few weeks ago in the unlikeliest of places: during an appearance on TRL. Oh, and you may have heard that she gave her best friend, Selena Gomez, a kidney.
