Learning to save money by doing without things you would like is the best assistance possible for someone in your position. It will teach the lesson needed for the rest of your life when you own a house and unexpected repairs need to be paid for.

This should not be taken personally.
Why should there be help for first time home buyers? Such help is tax payer funded and I believe this policy to be misguided. Why are first time home buyers "entitled" to help and not first time renters?

You can ask for seller assistance as a buyer. But just know that when you ask a seller for help, there isn't much room for negotiating on the purchase price of the home.
Also, depending on where you are wanting to puchase a home, you might qualify for a USDA loan. That loan allow you go purchase a home with 0% down and you might even be able to wrap your closing costs in on the loan if the house appraises.

You might want to check with a realtor and lender in your area and see if USDA loans are offered. That's one of the few 100% financing options left. FHA has limited downpayment assistance options. A realtor can explore options based on your specific situation.
