Introducing eight-year-old Nellie Mainor, who suffers from a rare kidney disease, Selly shared:
“You are focusing on making the world a more hopeful place and you encourage me and all of my friends to do the same.”
And she added about using her platform to speak out about her own experience:
“As maybe some of you know, I had a kidney transplant this year and so many people from across the country reached out and they offered their support. And others told me how hearing my story helped them find their own courage and helped other people want to get involved and donate. They reminded me how lucky I am to have a platform where I can share with you guys and I can pay the love forward.”
