If you write much of anything, you need to proofread.
Errors in grammar, usage, and spelling can be very entertaining to the reader. But you may not want to have your writing provide that kind of entertainment.
Proofread your work!
Now let me break some bad news to you — we all easily miss some of our own mistakes.
Any honest proofreader or editor who knows his stuff will agree with me on that point.
So what to do?
Get another set of eyes hitched up to another brain.
But the cost is prohibitive. And I doubt your health insurance would cover the procedure.
It would be significantly less expensive for you to hire me.
If your piece has a maximum of 500 words, I charge $5 for English and $10 for Spanish.

PS: At times I even email Web sites to tell them of typos and other errors I see. This morning I contacted USA Today (One EMP burst and the world goes dark) about a typo in one of their photo blurbs. It used to say “These eectricity transmission lines….” I just checked a bit ago; they fixed it. I haven’t heard back from them, though.
