Homeless Daniel Issayu was flown back to Switzerland yesterday.
MK NEWS has been following Daniel's plight since November last year.
He had lived on a bench outside Sainsbury's in central Milton Keynes for nearly two years.
Nobody would give him shelter because it was believed he is an illegal immigrant.
Volunteer Ann Cooper, from the Open Door drop-in centre in Conniburrow, accompanied him on the 6am flight to Geneva yesterday morning.
Three weeks ago Daniel was rushed into hospital with a bacterial skin infection.
Volunteers found him in pain near the Theatre District while they were out hunting for him because he hadn't turned up at the homeless drop-in centre that he attends weekly for a hot meal.
Dean Burchall, the volunteer who found him, said: "When we found him he hadn't been able to move for days.
"His eyes were all yellow, his feet were rotten. He was lying in a pit, he hadn't been able to move for days."
When Daniel was released from hospital last Tuesday with nowhere to go, volunteers were livid. He is from Switzerland and speaks French, which meant he was unable to read the labels on the bag of medicine he had been given.
The volunteers have been struggling to find shelter for Daniel, but after liaising with the Swiss Embassy, it was decided he should go back there.
They confirmed that he was a Swiss national.
Ann Cooper stayed in Switzerland for a meeting with the Embassy and saw where he will be staying before flying home just hours later.
Before she left she said: "All this mismanagement and lack of care will finally be sorted out.
"I am going with him and I am going to find out his full story.
We've found he's got two sisters and a brother. He'll be given a home there, I'll see the home before I leave. Daniel looks really happy to be going home.
"We found a French person to explain it to him - you can't just throw a human being around.
"I'm just ashamed of the British system."
Before the decision was made to take him back to Switzerland, Daniel was offered a daily hot dinner by generous Netherfield resident Diane Tillyer.
On Monday, volunteers made sure Daniel was well presented for his trip home.
He had a haircut, a shave and was given clean new clothes, kindly donated by MK NEWS readers.
Dean said: "He looked like a normal guy, and that's what he is.
"Daniel was let down badly and only the hard work of a few saved him, he is a human being but it seems if you are Daniel then you may as well be living in a third world country after all.
"Please thank all your kind readers for their offers of financial and other help."
