Kidney involvement is common among women with higher stages of disease. Ultimately, if left untreated, this can potentially cause problems for the patient and the disease should be removed. Do you also not qualify for Florida's "Medically Needy" Program? http://www.dcf.state.fl.us/ess/medneedybrochure.pdf
In any event - call your local gyns and ask about sliding fee scales and payment plans for visits, procedures, exams, etc. You can also get low cost or no cost meds from the pharmaceutical companies if you want to undergo medical therapy for your Endo. TAP offers free Lupron, which is a horrific drug but if that's your only option, you should consider it; other companies offer free oral contraceptives to those on regimens for their Endo (which is a far better option than Lupron), and there are still others. Meds are not curative by a long stretch, but they can confer temporary symptomatic relief for many women in lieu of other options (such as meticulous removal through surgical excision). You can work with your doc and apply to whichever company's patient assistance program you may choose.
You can also consider going into a clinical trial. Trials are free to the participant, often offer a small compensation, and give the enrollee access to free cutting edge meds and other treatments under investigation. Contact http://www.endocenter.org for info on a trial near you.
Also, the specialty center at http://www.centerforendo.com offers free records review and consult, which will cost nothing to you but enable you to obtain expert opinions and advice on your case.

I also have endo. I have been dealing w/ it since high school, but didn't find out what it was until 6 years ago. I would try a Planned Parenthood or a Womens clinic where you live, also if you are a member of a church you should talk w/ them to see if they can help w/ the cost of the surgery. I have also had problems w/ my kidneys and the endo so I do know that it can happen if the endo is growing near the kidneys.
If you ever need or want to talk to someone who has also been dealing w/ this illness please email me.
Good luck

You really need to read "Endometriosis Bible & Violet Protocol" by Zoe Brown (also available in electronic format here: http://www.endometriosisbible.info ). It's about how to eradicate endometriosis disease forever. It worked for me, you will see results in only a matter of weeks. Good Luck!
