Another Tylor Chase video had gone viral in September, when another TikToker recognized him living on the streets in Riverside, California. TikToker Citlalli Wilson (@lethallalli) interacted with the former child star and later created a GoFundMe to help him. She mentioned in a post at the time: 

“I showed him the post I made for him he said that’s awesome!!! He said he’ll appreciate any help so I’ll be posting a Gofundme for him shortly!!!”

The fundraiser raised over $1,200, but Wilson paused it after receiving texts from Tylor Chase’s mother. According to a screenshot posted by @lethallalli, the ex-child star’s mother wrote: 

“Tyler needs medical attention not money. But he refuses it. I appreciate your effort. But money would not be a benefit to him. I have gotten him several phones, but he loses them within a day or two. He can’t manage money for his meds by himself.”

Citlalli Wilson agreed to stop the GoFundMe donations and handed over the raised money to Chase’s mother. She also shot another clip, gifting Chase footwear and clothing. She penned an Instagram post: 

“As some of you may know I went viral on TikTok for posting 'Tylor Chase' my post got millions of views and people asked I make a Gofundme to help him out. So I did. Today me and @12345biglee spent all day giving him a refresh. It’s such a blessing for God to use me as a vessel to help bless someone 🙏.” 

Wilson and her friend presented Chase with new outfits and washed his hair.
