A well-known celebrity is showing her support for Georgia's Aimee Copeland. Sofia Vergara says she's proud of the graduate student battling flesh-eating bacteria.

The Sukitz lollipop company recorded the message from the "Modern Family" star. The company is donating a portion of its proceeds this month to Copeland.

The 24-year-old is in serious condition at Doctors Hospital in Augusta after undergoing three amputations.

She cut her leg on a homemade zip line at the beginning of May and contracted the potentially deadly disease, but she's beat the odds and is expected to be in rehab in a few weeks.
