Please help me stay out of the system

I sadly got arrested in Sarasota on Monday July 24th. I was unware of how serious they handle everything here. If I do not come up with enough money to retain a lawyer, I am at serious risk of doing at the very least a year of time. I am aware it could have been avoided; however 2 of the charges brought against me were extremely outlandish & false. I am still working 5 days a week, sadly, it is the slow season here thus I am in no way making enough money to retain a good lawyer. I have two weeks to acquire $4000 to retain a lawyer. It’s very uncertain. I just don’t want the two wrong charges to ruin my future and would love proper representation. Total charges without court fees are $7000. This is basically my final plea. Please help. Any amount will add up.
I hate to ask for help but I am at a desperate point. Those of you that know me know that I am not a felon nor do I belong in prison for any period of time. It’s truly a terrifying time.
I took for granted New York law. But by god, they are awful here. I’m looking into groups to help for profiling.
