“Yes, Tylor needs medical attention, not money. But he refuses it. I appreciate your effort. But money would not be a benefit to him,” read the message lethallalli apparently received from the texter.
“I have gotten him several phones, but he loses them within a day or two. He can’t manage money or his meds by himself,” the message added.
Netizens claimed Tylor spoke about bipolar disorder on his YouTube channel

As per the didyoucatchthis screenshot, lethallalli seemingly replied and said she understood the situation and would, hence, put a stop to the fundraising page.
“But there is money that I’d like to at least give you because I don’t know what else to do with it,” read the response. “The money is not for me and it’s not my blessing to receive.”

The texter then replied, saying they could meet up and arrange for the money to be put in a bank account for Tylor.
“But like I said, he’s not good at managing money and it could possibly hurt him,” they added before saying they appreciated the help.
The texter concluded by saying Tylor is a “good sweet kid” but needs medical help.
“He is a good sweet kid. But he does need medical help,” the texter said

“According to his YouTube channel, looks like he struggles with bipolar disorder … I truly wish the best for him, so depressing that this type of outcome isn’t uncommon for those in America who need help/support,” one netizen wrote online.
A YouTube channel belonging to a user named Tylor Chase contains cryptic content with video titles like “Bipolar Vlogs - the absence of color” and “so be it.”
One video includes a narration about being “scared” and “lost.”

Some netizens claimed Tylor had a YouTube channel and posted messages about bipolar disorder.
“This feels exploitative,” one said.
“I loved watching that show with my kid. This is heartbreaking,” one fan commented online
