My Dad's Final Expenses

My name is Elijah Rath. I started this GoFundMe to help ensure that we have the funds to take care of the memorial costs for my father, Nathaniel Rath. My dad was diagnosed with lung cancer early 2024, and has been battling hard with the help of his girlfriend, Melissa, ever since. Unfortunately, we aren't quite sure how much fight he has left, the cancer has spread throughout the rest of his body....And if you knew my dad, you know he has put up one hell of a fight. And if you havent gotten the pleasure to know my dad, I'll tell you a little about him.

He was born in May 1975 and was raised right here in Washington state. He grew up with 3 brothers, my uncle Jimmy, Moose and Peanut and 2 sisters my Aunt Becky And my Aunt Collen. He now has us 6 children: me, my 2 brothers Jaymin and Kyle, one of whom he helped raise as his own, and my 3 sisters Isabella, Jessica, and Addie. He also has 14 grandchildren. He enjoys fishing, hunting, and nature. He loves to be around all of us kids and to play with all his grandkids. He is a family man and we just want to make sure that we can lay him to rest without worry.
