Default misdemenor drug possession

I have been told I can not get a public defender, my home is not in foreclosure yet but almost. I have misdemenor drug charge of possesion of a narcotic. I have never been in trouble before and have been clean for over 10years, I still follow my program and work closely with my attending doctor,
I had a slip and took a narcotic from work. I have given up my license to practise, and now face my charges without an attorney. what do I do. what is a sect 17 or an Ard. can I do this myself, it seems I have no chose, I can't afford 2,000 dollars, I can barely feed my kids, and am eligable for no help.
PLEASE HELP

You really have to have legal counsel. Can friends or family chip in. Don't try to do this alone and frankly you need better counsel than a public defender to argue for you. This could affect you for a long time.

no there is no one. thank you for your reply, I tried a website called justice denied for a pro bono attorney, but they don't do criminal charges. I thought
everyone was entitled to counsel, it seems everyone with money. I'm sunk.
