How would one get this without lawyers and money? This is a renewal not a new request. Anyone have any advice? Seems very picky when illegals can come here, get financial aid, etc, etc.

Why would you not just apply for a renewal for your wife, the same as yours? Because she is legally blind does not mean she is not legally competent. Assuming she can still make all her own decisions she does not, in any way,need a legal guardian.
You both may want to consider assigning a Health Care Surrogate and each have a durable power of attorney. You can use a lawyer or not. A lawyer will help create specific, tailored documents for a person. Otherwise, you can use a free Heath care surrogate document that is recognized in Florida. It may be of interest to you that in The Villages there are a number of people who are Deaf and blind who are very capable people. Blindness, as indicated does not equal incapacity.
