Comic creator and illustrator R. E. Burke is currently being held in a US detention centre, after being detained at the US-Canada border due to visa issues while on a backpacking holiday. Now, a GoFundMe campaign organised by Jade Upshall is raising money to help her and Becky’s family, to get a lawyer who can fight for Becky’s release, get her a flight home, and finance other costs.

Becky’s detention is the result of a visa mix-up, her plight widely reported by the BBC and other mainstream news services, and by Broken Frontier.

...

Supporters have rallied under the banner of #BringBeckyHome in the hope of speeding up the process through a GoFundMe campaign to get Becky safely back to the UK as soon as possible. As of Wednesday 12th March 2025, the campaign had raised over £4000 of its £5000 target.
