Please recommend free resources only (I don't earn in dollars and it is difficult to afford anything that is set value in dollars, even if may seem affordable in the States or a similar country)

So given that this is a more general question that would benefit from a variety of answers, you should post this over on /r/learnart instead.
This subreddit is reserved for those working through the lessons on drawabox.com, as explained here.
That said, you may want to check out Drawabox. While it's not specifically for people with aphantasia (it's a general drawing course focusing on the core fundamentals of drawing), it was made by someone with aphantasia - myself, in fact.
Also, all of the lesson content is entirely free.
I've also produced this video for the Proko YouTube channel which talks about how I draw and design despite my aphantasia, and I also relate it back to how I teach my students to draw and understand how the things they're trying to draw exist in 3D space.

Hey, thanks a ton! Nice to know that you could build a community like this, teach/create a course and become an artist despite not being able to have mental imagery. That's so inspirational!
Will check out drawabox and post this question elsewhere.
