The mother of a baby girl who was left fighting for life in Bali before generous Australians shelled out almost $200,000 to fly her home for specialist treatment has returned to Indonesia where she is renovating a house.
Baby Lucky captured the nation’s hearts in February when her mum, Honey Ahimsa, launched a desperate bid to charter a medical evacuation for her then-seven-week-old daughter to Australia for life-saving care not available in Indonesia.
Ms Ahimsa, a wellness influencer and mother-of-two who is originally from Melbourne, said doctors in Bali gave Lucky a 50 per cent chance of survival.

Ms Ahimsa told her 37,000 Instagram followers: ‘Our family are warriors and (after) everything we have gone through, THIS is such a triumphant feeling.’
Almost $200,000 was raised in a matter of days by kind-hearted souls who rallied behind the stranded family as Lucky battled sepsis, severe pneumonia, lung failure and RSV-bronchiolitis.
She was flown to Brisbane on a medevac flight and doctors treated her successfully.
Now, the family – Ms Ahmisa, her partner Pan, baby Lucky and their young son – have returned to Bali where they have seemingly bought a house they are renovating.
The announcement was made in an Instagram reel showing Ms Ahimsa looking wide-eyed at a building site with Lucky strapped to her in a baby harness.
The video shows Ms Ahimsa walking inside and hugging a builder.
‘We found an old/run down Balinese house and very slowly, with lots of breaks and tears we are now back and starting the renovating process again!!!’, Ms Ahimsa wrote.

‘Our family are warriors and (after) everything we have gone through, THIS is such a triumphant feeling.’
In another post, Ms Ahimsa hinted that she is setting up a new ‘Quantum healing self love retreat for women in Bali’.
Daily Mail Australia is not suggesting either projects have been funded from the donations to the GoFundMe page.
The fundraiser, which was set up by a friend on behalf of Ms Ahimsa, has now been closed and there is a message thanking supporters.
‘In the future Lucky and family will be helping children in Bali who are struggling with health conditions,’ the message .
Daily Mail Australia asked the organiser if this meant money was left over and, if so, for more details about what it would be spent on but is yet to receive a response.
Ms Ahimsa was also approached for comment.

The fundraiser previously claimed the cost of the medical evacuation was almost $110,000, while Lucy’s medical bills in Bali were $8,000 a day for 11 days but some sources dispute the latter figure.
Lucky’s story made international headlines as people from around the globe donated money and sent the family well wishes as they fought to get her home.
The baby was finally discharged from hospital in early March, making her live television debut in the arms of her relieved mum on Sunrise.
‘There’s really just no words, just complete gratitude and disbelief,’ Ms Ahisma told the show from the Gold Coast.
Ms Ahimsa describes herself as an advocate of ‘conscious parenting/unschooling’, which does not follow a set curriculum or rely on formal lessons.
‘Instead, it encourages children to explore and learn from the world around them, engaging in activities that interest them and align with their individual learning styles,’ she wrote on Instagram.
Ms Ahimsa also shares ‘immunity bio hacks’, were she encourages her 37,000 followers to tap their Thymus gland for a period of 20-30 seconds to ‘increase their energy levels’.
