Quite right. When you're dealing with a tight budget, every little bit counts. For example, on my last thru-hike I figured I saved close to $200.00 on postage alone, by not mailing myself food. Additional savings came from not ever having to deal with extra or un-needed food; I didn't have to create food drops out of extra stuff and "bump it ahead"; nor did I have to deal with food that I'd grown tired...

The MSR unit produces chlorine dioxide, which, IIRC, is the same thing as Katadyn tablets. The tablets don't require batteries and weight a fraction of an ounce. I have a Miox, I keep it for BOB ( bug-out-bag) use, in conjunction with an MSR filter. For hiking, I use this:

I had to save up for a number of years to buy gear and to do the trail (but that was for 2 people). I'd look into getting an extra job on the side. People should not be expected to donate so you can take a hike (this is not to be mean, but its the truth). As it is, real charities themselves are hurting for donations with the economy. Save up so you can do it like we all had to.

It is possible to purchase JUST a bundle of maps from the ATC, but keep in mind that if you take advantage of their "map/guidebook" annual special, it's still cheaper to buy the whole shebang (maps and books both), even if you're not planning to carry or use the guidebooks.

easy going sobo. in fact, you may even have to hold off starting even later if its a high snow year.
you could also almost just as easily go nobo as well, but your chances of running into bad weather in the north (and perhaps not being to climb katahdin if you slumber) increase.
