Hello and welcome @Judy_Hawkins 
If budget is an issue (and your application to the Free programme doesn’t pan out) there’s always the option to self-host too, which can be reasonably inexpensive for a small site. If you have even a little bit of a tech background the standard install instructions are pretty easy and you can be up and running in no time.
Both of these are core features and can be set up straight from the UI. 
Though adding an extra plugin is pretty easy too, if you ever want any - and a theme-component is even easier.
I hope you find someplace you can call your new home.
