Fans of **Nickelodeon’s “Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide”** were heartbroken after learning that **Tylor Chase**, who played **Martin Qwerly** on the popular teen sitcom, was recently found living on the streets of **Los Angeles**. Now 36 years old, the former child star appeared disheveled and homeless in a viral video shared by influencer **Lethal**, sparking concern and a wave of compassion from fans.
In response, Lethal launched a **fundraiser** that quickly raised **$1,207** to help Chase get back on his feet. The influencer documented her efforts to assist him, sharing a video that showed her **buying new clothes**, **washing his hair on the street**, and giving him a much-needed refresh. The emotional clip captured Chase gratefully receiving the clothing and thanking those who donated: “Thank you so much, these are so pretty,” he said tearfully.
While many praised Lethal’s compassion, others expressed disappointment that the fundraiser’s promises—such as providing **safe housing, food, and medical resources**—had not yet materialized. Critics noted that the donations seemed to go solely toward clothing and hygiene, raising concerns about how sustainable the assistance would be.
In her defense, Lethal explained that all funds were spent within a single day to offer immediate comfort, describing the experience as “a blessing from God” and a chance to show kindness to someone in need.
Reports later surfaced from individuals who claim to personally know Chase, suggesting that his struggles may stem from **mental health challenges**, including **bipolar disorder**, and possibly **substance dependence**. One message reportedly stated that Chase “needs medical attention, not money,” and that he struggles to manage finances or medications on his own.
Despite the mixed reactions, many supporters remain hopeful that this renewed attention will lead to **long-term support and professional care** for the former actor. His story serves as a sobering reminder of the difficulties many former child stars face after fame fades — and the importance of compassion and mental health awareness.
Fans continue to share messages of love and encouragement, hoping Tylor Chase can find stability and healing in the days ahead.
