Baby Gammy now has a brand new abode--all thanks to donations from thousands of fellow citizens. Along with his mother, the baby has moved into his new house worth $250,000.

The house is being held under a trust in the name of the organization 'Hands Across Water'. The rest of the amount, $120,000, which raised by collecting donations from others have been kept to cover his future medical expenses and other needs. Baby Gammy is now 10 months old and still suffers from a lung condition, as told by Daily Mail.

Prior to moving in to his new home, the family had been living in a one bedroom unit, which was quite small for the whole family. As advised by Down syndrome Australia, the environmental condition where the child lives is very important as these kids are more susceptible to flu, cold and other viruses compared with other kids without Down syndrome.

Baby Gammy became a subject of international debate when he was abandoned by his Australians parents after being born to a surrogate mother as he was diagnosed with Down syndrome. The couple took away his twin sister, who was healthy and fine, but left him alone in Bangkok to fend for himself.

The surrogate mother of the child Goy Janbua showed an exceptional behaviour in this episode despite her financially vulnerable condition. She decided to take care of the child as her own at the time when his own genetic parents abandoned him due to his condition.

Uproar from users of social media regarding this whole incident helped a lot in raising funds for the baby. Gammy, Goy, her husband, their two kids and their grandparents can now live comfortably in their new house located in same locality where they were living earlier. The family is also planning to start a noodle shop in front of the house to add to their income.
