Who else wants phill to come in and hug her :(

the dislikes are old grannies who think the dislike button means sad

This is what the body positivity movement should be about. She was so atrong through everything, and has no issues showing her scars. Shes a survivor.

she inspires me to keep going and puts my chronic illnesses into perspective. I can still be a baddie with a chronic issue. She is so strong and I love how she was so vulnerable , I love it here

She went through all of this while filming a TV show?? She’s amazing. Not only the physical stress but emotional stress

So glad SELF didn't put any background music to this.

Aww man … She got me over here teary eyed 🥺🥺😪 . I’m glad she has a great support system ., and salute to her for sharing her story .:: AMAZING ! 💗

she is so insanely strong. I've been binge-watching modern family for weeks and I had no idea she went through any of this. she's amazing.

it’s crazy someone can be going through all this and all we see is ‘Haley’

she went through all this pain while making us laugh. I feel so proud of her.

Sarah, thanks for telling your story. It parallels mine in so many ways. I've had 2 kidney transplants, have been on dialysis in between, have suffered with the guilt of rejection failure that I know intellectually is not mine, but there it is anyway. Your bravery and tears are so authentic. All love to you and many blessings.

My mums going through dialysis and it isn’t easy, the emotions you can feel them. got chills and 😢

“scars are little tally marks of what you’ve been through as a human being.” 🥺

I really hope Sarah reads these comments and sees how much people care for her

I turned 17 in January, I have gone through so much health-wise. Sarah Hyland is an inspiration for so many like myself battling these things everyday. It never goes away nor lessens when we're having fun or when we are seemingly at our best, I thank her for being so open.

As a mother, Sarah.. don’t ever give up on yourself. Your dad and brother donating their kidneys… your family and friends taking care of you.. it’s not a burden; it’s an honor 🖤 They love you SO MUCH that they’d GIVE THEIR LITERAL KIDNEY to you. There is no love greater than a person who is willing to lay themselves down for you. Please, keep fighting.

She’s a really strong person. My mom noticed while watching the modern family show that at a certain point her face almost looked swollen and immediately wondered if she was going through something with her kidneys (my mom had kidney problems in the past so she knew about some of the side effects) and we found out about her surgeries and immediately were so amazed that she kept acting through all of it, honestly such a strong lady.

I just want to give her a hug. I had no idea.

I'm a kidney transplant recipient, currently sitting in a bed in hospital after being told my transplant might be in the early stages of rejection. I'm in my late 30's and have been in and out of hospital my whole life. I can relate so much to everything she's saying 😢

I donated a kidney to my brother, it was the greatest gift I've ever given. I'm glad she's healthy and doing well. I feel her pain deeply.

Just the fact that she was able to be so lively as Hayley while she was going through all of this. It's just inspiring and I'm currently just bawling my eyes out at this.

I don't see scars, I see strength ❤️

She is beautiful on every level, what a strength.

This is a perfect example of how a mature and strong woman should be in our times today, a genuine inspiration for all. Respect & lots of love to you Miss Hyland !!!

This many hugs for her | \/

I will never understand why people thumbs down these emotionally vulnerable stories.

I can relate to the trouble she and her family went through. My dad underwent a kidney transplant in 2016, and my mum is the donor. His kidney started to reject in December 2019 and before we can do anything, we lost him in March 2020. It was hard for us to see him suffer, and go like this. I'm grateful to you for speaking up about your personal life. It gives encouragement and motivates others to overcome their mental roadblocks. You are a star in the true sense. Lots of love.

Wow I was sitting here depressed about needing another surgery for endometriosis and she’s had over 16 surgeries and two transplants. This is inspiring. Gratitude is everything. Thank you for sharing Sarah.

She looks like a younger version of Peter Parker’s aunt and I love her

All of this and she went through an abusive relationship?? She truly has been through a lot and i hope she’s getting help because that’s a lot on a person. She’s so strong. ❤️

As a recipient I watch this video a couple times a year because of how encouraging it is to me to hear someone explain how I feel so clearly.

It's amazing that she was going through all of this and was still able to be a huge part of a show that entertained so many people. Just goes to show you that you never really know what someone is going through in private, even while they put on a smile!

I don't feel safe in a world where 1k+ people dislike a video like this..

She's 27? She looks 17! Such a strong human being, such an angel

As a person that went through what she went through I know her pain, especially when were so young and it happens. I was 29, severely depressed for many years

Can relate so much. I was on dialysis too back in Feb 2017. My mom became my donor in March 2017. And 2 yrs later was diagnosed with endometriosis n currently on treatment. More than the physical pain, the mental trauma n depression that comes with all f this is the hardest to deal with. Takes a lot of courage to speak about it. Sarah is such an inspiration. What an incredible woman ♥

The fact that she is the most lively character as Haley on Modern Family just shows how amazing her acting and her professionalism is. Kudos to her, I didn't know she had these problems and she's so strong, I love it

I felt my heart physically ache when she started to cry

sarah is a great example to follow, even after going through several difficult times in her life, she didn't give up and I'm so proud of her for having so much courage to show a little bit of her story to the world, she is an amazing woman and very strong, i love her so much and she deserves the world!!

She is one really special lady. The gratitude is just abundantly clear when she tells her story. Don't ever lose that. You are wonderful Sarah.

_she’s 27?_ *dang, she really looks like she’s 18... i need to start breathing that los angeles air.*

Why are people comparing Selena’s situation to hers? Both people went through a lot, this isn’t a competition wtf.

Wow, her story is so relatable to me as someone who has had 8 surgeries over the last 9 years. She has some beautiful advice and insight. I’m so glad she was able to be so raw, vulnerable, and honest for us. 💜💜

I really couldn't imagine that she could have gone through something like that; she was one of the reasons I watched Modern Family-- and honestly she gave so much joy and I couldn't imagine how much strength that requires to throw away such struggles to spread just joy and amusement

The shallowest person on the show is ironically the deepest in real life.

I can't believe she endured 4-hour dialysis treatments for 3 days a week! I have so much respect for her

My heart hurts for her, she clearly has great love in her family. I love this woman, and I hope her and all of her family live long, and happy lives😍

Sarah Hyland is truly someone who deserves so much support and love because going through all this and still being optimistic, hopeful and grateful just makes her so much more deserving and inspiring.

I'm so glad she didn't kill herself. The feeling of she felt like a burden... so heartbreaking. I'm glad she's doing well now. I remember she released a statement saying during filming she requested scenes where "Haley sat down." She got exhausted just standing. I love Sarah!

This girl has a great sense of comedy in that Modern Family show. I'm always impressed by the way she finds the laugh in the script, which isn't always a given, especially with these child actors who start off young and don't always grow into their comedy chops. She always knows how to play it, and she's also a pretty great serious actress too. Good for her!!

THIS WOMAN IS A LEGEND Most of us don’t know about this, she has been through so much and it all goes unnoticed, she always looked so happy on social media, but inside, we have no clue She was still filming the TV show, when she was under treatment, so much pain, kidney failures, depression, suicidal thoughts, and she got through it all Never gave up, kept acting, giving her best She Is a living legends We love you Sarah Hyland ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ All support and love ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Wow she’s so incredibly strong I am crying I am also going thru health problems and to know she went thru it and is okay is so nice to know

“I love him so much it hurts. So much it’s hard to say sometimes” Wow I started crying. I love my brother

Damn, I don't know her, but I feel I could love her like a sister.

So amazing and inspiring to see her in tears and still be able to joke while telling her story. When she said it looks like the nj turnpike 😭I died. I’m gonna take this and whenever I think my life is so bad I’ll chose to spread happiness instead of bring others down. Such an amazing person :’)

I never knew any of this about Sarah Hyland…. And I think it’s because of her incredibly awesome personality! This woman is filled with light and life! What an inspiration!!!!

All the women in modern family are real life heroes and my role models edit: wow guys! these many likes! thanks you soo much! luv u guys edit again: OMG THE LIKES ON THIS COMMENT TYSMMM

I have had 7 abdominal surgeries and breast cancer . I made through all this with support of my husband and friends. It made me a very strong person. I admire you. You go girl.

Its amazing that she was able stay strong for all of this. I had a surgery when i was 19 due to a damaged valve in my heart. In a way she is really very lucky that not only able to find a match but also that she and her family was able to afford it. There are a lot of people who are in similar systems who don't have a similar privileges.

i cant imagine how much her family loves her, her dad and brothers willing to donate their kidney so willingly is so kind of them.

Had no idea that she had so much pain in her life because she is always so bubbly and perky. What an amazing girl! God bless her!

I love how she tells her story and how there is no distraction such as dramatic music or something that would make this feel “scripted”.. I hope she is feeling better, that’s a tough thing to go through..

Hearing her story like this makes me feel her strength, dialysis is no easy feat thank goodness she’s been able to survive and inspire people.

Mad respect to her. Such a super strong woman. She could be a life coach and I would pay a million dollars to get the coaching.

Seeing her as herself in this setting, I think she's madly beautiful.

Don’t judge people. You don’t know what they have been through.

she's so amazing, going through all of that while still making modern family fans smile and laugh. ugh i just wish her all the best in the world

She is amazingly strong. I have endometriosis, didn't expect her to have it on top of her kidney transplants but gosh she went through a lot.

She says so many good things here. “When a family member gives you a second chance at life and it fails... it almost feels like it’s your fault”. So true. Not only for physical things such as transplants but mental as well... My parents have done everything for me in order for me to survive my depression an anxiety. Yet I didn’t feel happier or like I wanted to live. It hurts. “I had gone through 26 years of always being a burden, of always having to be looked for after”... that hit.

This girl is a role model. She is a hero.

I love Sarah so much. She is so genuine and such an amazing person. She is the epitome of hardworking and talented, and I love how she said scars were like tally marks of what you have gone through. What an incredible woman and I am so happy for her that she is now happily married 2022. ❤

That is amazing that you made it through all of that and still have such a great attitude and outlook! My wife had her kidneys fail at the age of 12, then the first transplant failed after 7 years or so. Now she has been waiting for a new kidney for almost 20 years. It's tough but you would never know it talking to her. After having gone through so much she still finds a way to stay positive and hopeful.

What an incredibly inspirational story from such a beautiful soul. Thank you! ❤️

Who remember her from geek charming from Disney channel

My 10 year old little brother recently had a kidney transplant and his dad gave him his kidney. Luckily he's happy and healthy and i will always look up to him for this❤️❤️

I have had 5 surgeries throughout my entire life. I have a multiple chronic issues with my body that will never been resolved. This woman though. Really opens my eyes to the fact that we are very resilient and powerful. Thank you for sharing and be so confident in yourself despite all of what you have had to experience.

And people keep saying famous people don’t have problems in their life

I didn’t know and I NEVER would have guessed.

Sarah Hyland is such an inspiration. She explained what we people with chronic illness feel. I want to continue to strong and take care of my health. Would love to meet her one day.

I just wanna give her a hug for all what she's been through

I really hope this kidney works for her and she never have to ever have another surgery for a very long healthy happy life which she deserves

My 18 year old brother gave my 11 year old brother his kidney. Unfortunately he fell into a coma after surgery and never woke up. I was 8 and lost my best friend. God bless you for still being here, Sarah. You are so very blessed and God has big things for you. Take care. ❤️ Thanks everyone for all of your sweet replies. I appreciate your kindness. I know he’s at peace and I have an angel in heaven looking after me. ❤️

As someone who has lupus and ITP I learned in therapy chronic illness is often associated with depression. Sad to see her struggling, shes such a beautiful soul and wonderful actress Wishing her the best

I love you Sarah! Every day might not be great, but thank you for sharing your story. This inspires not only me, but so many others to be grateful, and appreciate the life we have. May you continue to heal in all areas and live a long, healthy life💕

Seeing her like this is heartbreaking, love her sm. The 1.4 k people who disliked u disgust me

oh my gosh she seems so hurt. She spoke really well, it shows a very different side of her then from her show

What an amazing woman...i have no words, just awestruck at how strong she is. She's a real legend, a true hero

Honestly her story is amazing and so powerful, filming modern family during all of... well this. Wow. She is so strong

I don’t get why people are ashamed of scars. They are so visually interesting, they are story tellers. Also. She’s beautiful. My dad is also a kidney recipient.

My sister has kidney failure she’s only 16, I’m going to sent her this thank you for opening up.

As someone who has chronic kidney disease this was inspiring

I met Sarah while working as a florist and she was so lovely. Such a beautiful soul. So well brought up, I could tell. 🥰

Damn, back when that season of Modern Family was airing, I was one of those people that thought she was either on drugs, had plastic surgery or both. Her sudden change in appearance was so apparent and abrupt and I just thought it was a typical case of a celeb getting a not so convincing face lift or something. Feel awful now that I jumped to conclusion. That poor girl. What a terrible set of circumstances she had a to endure. Glad she’s doing much better now.

Shes isnt the only one. My wife had a donated kidney. It lasted 11 years. I was dating her when it finally failed. I had already propsed to her and threw in a kidney. After all the tests to see how i matched. They called and said yes. So we did it 4 months later we got married. I got to wear my family tartan so i got my wedding treat. My wife my wedding wish. 2 years later she was sick from heat exhaustion she couldnt keep her meds down and her body rejected my kidney. 4 years of home dialysis i got the call for her to go in for a possible donation. I let her sleep while the machine went through its last cycle grabbed her bags and loaded the car. She was so nervous she tried to tell me no. I basicly reminded her im with her and were going to do this. The kidney was from a cadaver donar. It matched even better then mine. Sweet. So far so good. Shes got good days and bad days. Were still together and in love 12 years. While this actresses story is unique to her. Standing next to you in the store could be another that has even more.

What an amazing young woman! Such strength and what a reminder of the importance of a solid support system as you navigate life’s difficulties! Love really is what matters most!!!

New respect for this amazing human being. Ms. Hyland is a shining example of maturity well beyond her years and someone who has a deep understanding of how valuable every moment of life actually is. Brava signorina! She's a real beauty too.

I used to religiously watch Modern Family & liked her character. This is the most profound interview I've seen her have & it made me cry. What an incredible woman

This poor girl has been through so much, kidney issues, an abusive relationship, suicidal thoughts, depression, etc. She is so incredibly strong

She's honestly so strong. With the way she smiles, you wouldn't be able to tell she's been through so much

Im so proud of her she’s amazing and inspiring she went all of that while filming Im speachless
