‘Very concerning’: Mother of 4 fighting for her life after contracting salmonella on church trip

A Virginia mother of four, Ayla Garcia, is hospitalized in Kenya after contracting a severe salmonella infection during a church mission trip. Her pre-existing sickle cell disease has complicated her condition, requiring ICU care, dialysis, and multiple blood transfusions. Her family is raising over $250,000 for medical evacuation and treatment costs through a GoFundMe campaign.
