Do they seem on the outside of the skin, or do they feel as if they are inside and you can move them around. If they are on the inside, you really need a vet. If they seem to be on the surface, it's probably flea bites or a problem with the skin.
There must be some low cost vet clinics in the area. When taking in a pet, you also take on the responsibility of proper medical care. If he's in pain, or discomfort it's not fair to him.

That poor kitten!!! Maybe you could do one of these:

1. Find a vet who is willing to work with you and let you make payments.
2. Get a small personal loan from a relative.
3. Make a personal sacrifice and give up something you really don't need so the kitten can be seen by a vet.
4. Find a low-cost vet clinic. The expenses won't add up as fast.

They are probably just his glands! Feel your throat on both sides and you'll find two huge balls. All my cats have these lumps, so do I!
