How you can help

Over an hour (at least) has passed by that I have been staring at the little black blinking line inside this box titled, "TELL YOUR STORY.". "LOST/LOSS"
I LOST my best friend (my step-dad).
An unexpected LOSS.
I am at a LOSS for words,
I am at a LOSS for thoughts.
I am LOST without you.

I am ashamed to even say due to my financial situation, there hasn't even been a funeral for the passing of my step-dad, my best friend, Marvin Pilc. I have never had to deal with something like this and I am not sure how to swallow/accept it , but I think a celebration of his life could be a start? I was thinking a gathering at a park here in SF with some of Marvs favorite snacks & drinks , a playlist with his fav songs, I don't know. I barely can afford to eat right now, there is no way I could ever get a gravestone or burial, so I was hoping to plant some flowers/plants in his memory and call it "Marvin Gardens." I don't know what to do, I feel all alone and sort of ashamed for asking for the help. Thank you to those for even reading this , I really truly appreciate it.

I am in the process of planning a celebration of life, but finances ( or lack of) are the number one obstacle, hence my cry out for help. The celebration will most definitely be in San Francisco, and I would like it to be ASAP, as we are already losing time. Thank you in advance for even reading any of this, if you cannot help, I completely understand, just know your thoughts and prayers are also greatly appreciated. Thank you.
