Fans of Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide have been closely following a recent fundraiser for Tylor Chase, the actor who played Martin Qwerly on the hit Nickelodeon series. Now 36, Chase was recently found living on the streets of Los Angeles by influencer Citlalli Wilson, better known online as Lethal Lalli.
Wilson shared footage of Chase’s situation, which quickly went viral, drawing widespread attention and concern. Longtime fans were heartbroken to see the former child star struggling with homelessness and hardship, a stark contrast to the vibrant personality they remembered. The post prompted a fundraising campaign that raised $1,207 to assist Chase.
After receiving the donations, Wilson documented how she used the funds on Chase’s behalf. These videos prompted mixed reactions. While some applauded her efforts to provide immediate support, others criticized the approach, noting that new clothes and a street-side makeover did little to address the deeper challenges Chase faces, including homelessness and ongoing mental health issues.
In her latest video, Wilson carries bags filled with jackets, jeans, shoes, and a backpack chosen with Chase’s preferences in mind. She described the day spent with him as a “refresh,” framing the act as a meaningful way to serve someone in need. In one moment, she washes Chase’s hair on the sidewalk using a water bottle, then hands him the new clothing items. Chase’s gratitude is evident as he receives each item, occasionally clasping his hands in thanks and saying, “Thank you so much, these are so pretty.” The footage concludes with a warm photo of Chase, Wilson, and a friend smiling together.
Originally, the fundraiser was designed to provide more than just clothing — it aimed to offer Chase housing, food, and essential resources to help him rebuild his life. The campaign emphasized giving him hope and stability through comprehensive support.
