'Baby Lucky's' mother told her followers she had donated excess cash from her $190,000 fundraiser to a hospital in Bali - but has now deleted the comment. 

Honey Ahimsa, whose sick seven-week-old baby girl was medically-evacuated to Australia after kind-hearted members of the public donated almost $200,000, has provided little explanation for what happened to any additional funds.

It comes as it can be revealed the family is launching a new business - an 'affordable' online course to help expats build their dream homes in Balinese 'paradise'.

Three weeks ago - before Daily Mail Australia revealed the family had recently returned to Bali where they are having a villa renovated - Ms Ahimsa was asked by one of her 37,000 followers if she had donated any leftover funds to the Siloam Hospital in Denpasar, where Lucky was first treated. 

'Yes we did and will be continuing to donate/help children in need,' responded Ms Ahimsa. 

But the question and comment have now vanished from underneath the post, which is captioned: 'I'm not chasing money, I'm chasing freedom.'

'The ability to spend my most valuable currency (time) with the people I love, that's my goal,' it adds.

Ms Ahimsa originally told this publication that 'no money from the Lucky Love GoFundMe was used for anything other than what was mentioned on the GoFundMe page'.

The page, which was set up by a friend and has now been closed, hinted there was cash leftover.

'In the future Lucky and family will be helping children in Bali who are struggling with health conditions,' it reads.

Ms Ahimsa has not responded to questions about the new revelations, including the comment's deletion.  

While the family paid almost $107,000 for the specialist medical evacuation flight, Daily Mail Australia understands the payment was not initially forthcoming.

In fact, it took them over three weeks to stump up the cash.

The GoFundMe originally claimed Lucky's medical bills in Bali were '$5,000 to $8,000' a day but other sources have disputed this figure. Siloam Hospital in Denpasar would not comment due to patient confidentiality.

Ms Ahimsa told this publication she was 'more than happy' to provide an itemised account of how the money was spent but stopped responding to emails when asked to do so.

She also said she had received very few donations over PayPal.

Ms Ahimsa insisted 'no money from the Lucky Love GoFundMe was used for anything other than what was mentioned on the GoFundMe page'

But this publication has seen an old post which indicates she received 4,000 donations of around $5 to $10 each.  

Ms Ahimsa insists that the family's new home in Bali is a rental and they are only paying $83 a week. 

She and her husband are now planning to launch an 'an affordable online course sharing every single step of renting/renovating in Bali for anyone wanting to do the same'.

Her new Instagram bio reads: 'I help people build affordable dream homes in paradise'. 

In her latest post she informs her followers they can 'get a house in Bali with a legally binding long term contract 10-50 years starting at only $350 USD down payment and $50 a week rent!'

On Wednesday, this publication revealed Baby Lucky's parents had attempted to raise $US10,000 for a 'non-profit vegan restaurant, boutique eco hotel and tattoo studio' in Tulum, Mexico, in early 2020. 

They allegedly offered incentives to encourage donations, including free stays, breakfasts and yoga classes but the project was never completed. 

The couple's Mexico fundraising efforts - which were also billed as a project to help under-privileged and orphaned children in Mexico - are believed to have raised about half the $US10,000 target. 

However, after the project was abandoned, all traces of it were wiped from the internet. Ms Ahimsa claimed she had explained its disappearance on her Instagram page at the time.

'We made the decision to return to Australia with our son as this was the safest decision with a child during a global pandemic.

'The intention was to help orphans as I lost both of my parents (I was taken away from my mother at age eight after experiencing things no child should and my father was hit by a truck and killed when I was 18).'

Ms Ahimsa added: 'The project in Tulum fell through and the GoFundMe was deleted. 

'We did not raise even half of that GoFundMe goal. Most of the donations were made by my partner's mother who donated over 80 per cent of what was raised.'

Ms Ahimsa did not address questions about what happened to the rest of the money.
