You've never advocated for homeless populations, or you wouldn't ask that.

No i haven't but she wasn't homeless or did she at one point live on the street?

After appearing in Thomas Dekker’s 2016 horror film Jack Goes Home, Chase largely withdrew from acting. In the GoFundMe page, Hernandez refers to various difficulties encountered by the actor, including bullying and a falling out with her family. Chase, he writes, “struggled to find safety and happiness in downtown LA” but that the two “found moments of happiness and hope” until her recent health issues. According to TMZ, Chase was taken to a hospital earlier this month for malnutrition.

It os entirely possible that her "boyfriend" is a scam artist trying to get money out of her death. SAG has her funeral expenses covered actually. And her family has said that they've been trying to find her for a pretty long time. Unknown if there was issues between them and her but there are a lot of unknowns.

But, don't donate to his GoFundMe. Her final expenses are fully covered by the actors union.
