Earlier, a GoFundMe page had been created to assist Tylor, raising over $1200 before being taken down by his mother. Explaining her decision, she reportedly said, “Tylor needs medical attention not money. But he refuses it.” She further added, “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.”
