Is there such a thing?
Is there an organization who can help out with it?
We are able to pay back slowly over time. But at the moment due to some circumstances we need a large lump sum.
We don't really have family or anyone to help out.
We will not do credit cards as it's an endless pit.

A zero percent credit card is an interest free loan.

You would need people to be your guarantor.

That usually has very specific criteria.

We use credit cards with zero interest rates. Usually good for 18 months and then we transfer the balance to a new one.
Do this only if you have a cheshbon of paying back or else it leads you down the slippery slope of credit card debt.

They're never interest free forever.

A loan isn't forever either. If you were planning on paying it back within a year or 18 months, it is interest free.
No loan is going to come without strings attached. A Gemach that is run as a community service is still going to need guarantors because it is tzedakah money and needs to be used responsibly. A gvir who gives a loan is going to want to know who you are, what you're using it for, when he's going to get it back, and proof that you can. A family member or good friend is using your relationship as collateral.
