Modern Family's Sarah Hyland has second kidney transplant thanks to her brother

Hyland detailed her lifelong health struggles in an interview in Self magazine, and tweeted that she hopes it "spreads awareness of organ donation" and "brings a sense of support" to the "beautiful warriors" in the chronically ill community.

The 28-year old, who has appeared on the ABC sitcom Modern Family since she was 18, was born with kidney dysplasia, which causes cysts to grow on underdeveloped kidneys.
