Welcome to the list!
The best solution is to get professional instruction, but since you can't afford that right now, I suggest paying closer attention to the times you feel good vs. when you're struggling. It seems possible to me that when you're feeling comfortable in practice, you might overdo it, and then have a hard time the next practice. It might help to keep a practice diary in which you note the date, length of rehearsal, and how your voice feels. Look especially for moments when you start feeling tired or when your voice starts to behave less consistently. If you can get really tuned into where your voice turns the corner from feeling comfortable to feeling raspy (or tired or inconsistent) then you can take steps to protect yourself. Bottom line: when your voice feels tired, the healthiest thing to do is stop singing.
