As a disabled vet I cannot switch hardware to something Ubuntu finds more agreeable due to cash restraints. Will there be an i386 Desktop version?

If you absolutely cannot switch hardware you can still install the 32-bit desktop version through HTTP or if you'd like through a torrent client.
You're not the only one: there are currently 1537 seeders seeding that torrent...
It's not available any more from the download page as Canonical is moving away from 32-bit but it'll buy you some time until the cash situation becomes a bit more favourable. (You'll still have full support from Canonical till April 2021 for 16.04)
Beware that the 32-bit version is now pretty niche as not many people are aware of its existence, so support for anything outside the standard Ubuntu software repository (read:PPAs) is disappearing fast, so you'll end up having to build all your software from source if you're planning on using this for an extended period of time...
