Sarah was born with kidney dysplasia, which means her kidneys did not develop correctly in the womb. In 2012, she underwent a life-saving kidney transplant. In 2017, she slammed haters who accused her of being anorexic.
“My circumstances have put me in a place where I’m not in control of what my body looks like. I am working hard to maintain my weight by eating as much protein as possible and continue to be STRONG and healthy,” she tweeted.
