Mama June Shannon recently helped her daughter, Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo’ Thompson, navigate a difficult situation.
The family wanted to spend the holidays together, but some obstacles made it challenging. Thankfully, Mama June stepped in to help.
When Alana got accepted to Regis University in Colorado, her family had mixed feelings. Living in Georgia, they were nervous about her being so far away.
At first, Alana wasn’t sure if she’d go. Although she received a $21,000 scholarship, life had thrown her family some tough challenges.
Her sister Anna Cardwell was battling cancer, and her boyfriend, Dralin Carswell, was dealing with legal troubles, making it unclear if he could leave Georgia. On top of that, it was revealed that Mama June had taken a significant amount of money Alana had earned as a child, raising concerns about how she’d afford college.
Despite all this, Alana decided to pursue her dream of becoming a neonatal nurse and is now in her sophomore year.
The journey hasn’t been easy. During her first semester, Anna passed away, and Alana rushed home to be by her side before it was too late.
This Thanksgiving marks the first one without Anna, making it an emotional time for the family. Mama June traveled to Colorado to bring Alana home for the holiday.
Their road trip took a difficult turn in Missouri, where they faced rough conditions, but they managed to make it through together.
