Former Nickelodeon Star Found Homeless — Fans Rally to Help
Tylor Chase, best known as Martin Qwerly on Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide, was discovered living on the streets of Los Angeles by influencer Citlalli Wilson, aka Lethal Lalli. Once a beloved child star, Chase had fame, fortune, and a promising future — but years later, he faced homelessness and hardship.
Wilson’s viral videos documenting Chase’s situation touched fans deeply, prompting a fundraising campaign that raised $1,207. With the funds, she gave Chase a “refresh”: new clothes, shoes, jackets, and even a washing of his hair on the sidewalk. While many praised her efforts, some criticized the approach, saying a makeover was only a temporary solution and didn’t address his deeper struggles, including homelessness and mental health challenges.
Chase’s reaction was heartfelt. “Thank you so much, these are so pretty,” he said, visibly moved. The fundraiser’s initial goal had been broader — to provide housing, food, and essential resources — but most of the money went toward personal care and clothing, leaving fans divided about the impact.
