Cacy Christian, as well as her two children, are seeking assistance in returning home to Antigua from Tortola, after being stranded there for months.
“I am pleading that I need to get home back in Antigua; I’ve been here for four months now and I’ve reached out to the local authorities in Antigua to try and help me to get out but I have no luck,” she said.
“I’m pleading to come home; it’s hard here. The locals here have to actually help me to get food and clothing because of the fact my dad’s salary has dropped and the hours have been reduced,” the Daily Observer quoted the woman as saying.
The thirty-two-year old and her two children went to Tortola on March 6 for what she thought would be her regular two-week vacation but when it was time to return Antigua & Barbuda had closed their borders due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Since then, the mother of two have been living on a boat that her father owns, but things have become difficult since his working hours with the Tortola Port Authority have been reduced.
She said she could not travel on June 20 InterCaribbean Flight because it was full and has been unable to get a refund.
Christian is pleading to the government or anyone in Antigua that can help her and her children get back home soon.

Boarders closed March 26.
You are right Mary. She said she went to BVI on “March 6 for a two week vacation”, but as you pointed out the border didn’t close until March 26, so obviously she overstayed her TWO WEEKs vacation. Looks to me like this is her own fault. No sympathy here.
Something don’t sound right, the seaport where cargo comes in Antigua Never Close and buying clothes????
Well! Everybody stranded want to be brought home … everybody has a hand out and a sub story. It seems to be working because they are rescued. Not by me ! That’s for sure
Lol exactly. First the preggo who got stuck in crime-ridden Trinbago. Now we have another sob story.
Not so sure about this.
Govt broke. Who tell you to go over there. Now you will have to plan accordingly and out of your own pocket. Unless you promise to vote for the Gaston regime.
You make your bed, you lie in it. The Antigua people are not going pay her way home, especially since she overstayed her two weeks “vacation”. She had time to get out when her two week vacation time was up, as the border was still wide open.
Them ah over do now. Ah like every week ah one new one. Ah wha do we be so? She overstay she welcome now she want government fu bring she home fu free.
I am willing to help
All these negative comments. Our boarder closed the 26th but when did tortola boarder close??? Think off that cause remember we was the last to close ours, so obviously tortola closed before so she couldn’t get out. You have to look on a situation from many angles not just one.
You people love to see people suffer. Bunch of wicked. One day your turns will come. You must help each other why did you say something don’t sound right. What could she done so wrong that you think she should not get any help. Just like you deceive you own people during slavery. So common you sell out Marcus Garvey. How can you get to the pearly white with that mentality. HELP ONE ANOTHER. Bunch of demons.
