I am afraid that he's going to pass away if you don't get him to the vet.

Oh.... I am so sorry.... I am not sure what help can be given.... The only person that can help you is a vet.... and a vet is needed fast - kittens take a turn to the worst quickly, and if not treated.... they pass....
If he is not eating, you should be feeding with kitten milk/formula from the pet store - KMR. Are you doing that? Are you keeping him warm? Where is mom?
If you really can't afford, that is all you can do, and pray..... keep feeding him, keep him warm...... and keep praying...... But know that there is not much you can do alone :(

Here are some links to help you out:
http://www.kitten-rescue.com/cold_kitten.html

Home made kitten furmula:
Home-made kitten formula (Kitten Glop)
8 ounces water (boiled then cooled)
1 envelope Knox unflavored gelatin
8 ounces whole evaporated milk (not skim)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (not low fat)
2 tablespoons plain yogurt (not low fat)
1 large or 2 small eggs yolks (raw)
1 teaspoon clear Karo syrup
* 1-3 drops liquid pet vitamins
* 1 capsule acidophilus
* 1 drop Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE)
* Optional, though very beneficial.
Boil the water, add the gelatin and mix well. Add the following ingredients in order, mixing well after each addition:

1/2 of the canned milk
Mayonnaise and Yogurt
Rest of the milk
All other ingredients

You can substitute canned goat's milk for the canned evaporated milk, if you prefer it. This mixture will keep in the fridge for up to four days. It is jello-like in consistency in the fridge so you can just scoop out as much as you need and warm. It can also be frozen in ice cube trays and defrosted as needed. You can find pet vitamins at a pet store or your vet, and acidophilus and GSE in the liquid form at a good health food store.

If you prefer, you can use this recipe permanently, instead of a commercially available kitten formula. If you are using a commercial formula, add a quarter of a teaspoon of full fat yogurt to the first bottle of each day. This will aid in your kitten's digestion.
