A resurfaced video from 2015 shows Tylor sharing a poem about his mental health struggles. He mentioned suffering with bipolar disorder, and the pain he experienced as nobody went to his poetry shows anymore.
What do we know about his situation now?
@lethallalli @lethallalli Just wanted to share some raw audio for you guys. Before we went to the store we stopped by and asked him “We’re going to the store is there anything we can get you? He said “a pair of boots would be nice something warm” I asked what “kind of boots like Doc Martens or Rainboots” he said “Wow Doc Martens are actually my favorite” so as he requested here’s him opening them
and s/o my bestie that helped this happen @12345bigLee #foryoupage #awareness #nedsdeclassifiedschoolsurvivalguide #fyp #trending
Tylor was spotted by influencer LetHallAlli living on the streets and shared a video of it on TikTok, which got millions of views. She then launched a GoFundMe but stopped it after his mum reached out to her and explained his issues with handling money.
“He can’t manage money or his meds by himself,” his mum said. “It could possibly hurt him.”
She added: “He does need medical help.”
After LetHallAlli’s GoFundMe video went viral, Tylor’s situation was brought to the attention of Devon Werkheiser, Daniel Curtis Lee and Lindsey Shaw, who played the three main characters in Ned’s Declassified. In their latest podcast episode, they said they’re now doing what they can to help their “old friend”.
