We are reaching out to ask for your support as we honor the beautiful life of Sariyah Watson. Sariyah was a standout sprinter for UIC, living her life with the wind at her back and a determination that inspired everyone who knew her. She brought joy and encouragement to her teammates, friends, and family, always striving to lift others up and push herself to new heights. Tragically, her journey was cut short on Mother’s Day when a wrong-way driver struck her vehicle head-on, taking her from us far too soon. The loss of Sariyah has left a deep void in our hearts, and while the finish line came much earlier than any of us could have imagined, her legacy of strength, speed, and kindness will forever be remembered.

Your funds will go directly towards funeral and burial expenses, helping our family honor Sariyah’s memory and give her the farewell she deserves. We are grateful for any support during this difficult time, and your generosity will make a meaningful difference as we celebrate Sariyah’s life and the impact she had on so many.

Any contribution, no matter the size, will help our family honor Sariyah's memory.
