Quit being so negative and just buy a small window unit, Julie.
It will fit your windows and that will vent it outside.
Only costs about $100. You still have about 2 more months of hot,
humid weather where you can't sleep at night and shop at stores with
ac when you could be staying in the comfort of your own home.

No high crime rate excuse either. A burgular will break into a
regular window or door before they break into the window with an AC
unit in it.

Buy one! NO EXCUSE is valid for this problem, Julie. And since you
won't need it often where you live, this one time buy should last you
20 years or so.
