Support also came from Shaun Weiss, best known for his role as Greg Goldberg in The Mighty Ducks. Weiss, who has openly spoken about his own recovery journey, said he received multiple messages about Chase. He reached out to contacts and confirmed that a detox bed and long-term treatment options were available.

Weiss also appealed to the public for help in locating Chase earlier, urging anyone who could meet him in person to get in touch so support could reach him quickly.

Werkheiser later shared that seeing his former co-star struggle was heartbreaking. He described Chase as a kind and sensitive person and spoke honestly about how difficult recovery can be, especially when addiction and mental health challenges are involved. He expressed hope that the renewed attention would help connect Chase with people who have the right resources and understanding.

The combined efforts of Lee, Weiss, and Werkheiser highlight a strong support system forming around Chase. With access to food, shelter, and potential rehabilitation, fans and friends alike are hopeful that he can regain stability and move toward a healthier future.
