Heard a loud pop, and the ac breaker popped. Ac man came out and said it's something with my box. Every time he flipped the breaker back on it would spark by the grounds and the breaker would pop back off. The screw that held the strip, all the grounds on that side run into, was loose and stripped. So I replaced the screw and it's solid now. Put everything back together and as soon as I turned that breaker on, it sparks by the ground and behind the breaker its self. I can't afford a electrician after the ac man's bill. My kids are miserable with no air and truthfully, we all are. Can anyone give me an idea of what is wrong. We have live here years with no problem. Help!

This is a serious electrical risk. You (and your kids) cannot afford NOT to have an electrician come and check out this dangerous situation. Attempting to bypass the problem without expert advice risks fire and electrocution.
