Beauty queen Bea Rose Santiago announced that she finally had a kidney transplant.
BEA ROSE SANTIAGO – Miss International 2013 Bea Rose Santiago finally had a kidney transplant coming from her younger brother.
In the second week of April, Maggie Wilson announced on her social media account that her friend, Miss International 2013 Bea Rose Santiago finally had her kidney transplant. Apart from that news, Maggie did not share any further details.
To recall, Bea shared in 2018 that she’s been undergoing dialysis. She was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease in 2018 and she was, at first, in denial about it. She flew abroad for a second opinion and when she received the same diagnosis, she decided to return to her family and find possible donors.
At the time of her revelation, she warned people to be careful in drinking their pre-workout drinks. She also shared that her gym routine also caused damage to her kidneys. In 2021, she opened up again about her illness and shared that she was in end-stage renal failure and would need to undergo dialysis five times a week.
And just recently, on her Instagram, she shared a health update and happily announced that she finally had her kidney transplant. Her younger brother donated his one bean to her. In 2019, among her possible donors are her mother, her brother, a friend, and her boyfriend.
Just as announced, she got her brother’s kidney and she feels nothing but love and renewed. She said in her post, “Thank you to my baby brother’s love and bean I am changed. Thank you world for showing me kindness and patience and of course to my family, friends, and strangers for your support, countless prayers and positive energy…”
