27m, 3 kids and a wife. Now as of three or so weeks ago unemployed and barely saved anything up.

Ahh where do I start.. im sorry?

Hello everyone, in advance, I’d(27m) like to say thank you for taking the time out of your day readying this and responding. Im in need of some advice/possible guidance.. Well, life at home was a mess as my mom and stepdad were on drugs all the time, I was essentially abandoned with my little brother and my senior year a few months before graduation I dropped out to support us with 2-3 jobs, got us a place and yeah. After graduation, I fell into deep depression because I felt like everyone i had grown up with was going further on in life while I was just dealing with this situation and becoming stuck. Spoke to my highschools superintendent, whom I became close with during the highachool days and asked him what I could do to get my diploma. He got me into a program called the youth corps and I went through 6 months doing 4 years of highschool work and a ton of volunteer hours to get my highschool diploma. After that, I got into sales where I was making a decent amount of money. I was going to go to college but I didn’t make the moves to do so. Fast forward a few years, i have a wife, and as of Friday, 3 kids. 6 day old, 4 year old and a 5 year old. My wife and I made due with our financial situation and did pretty well with budgetting, though we have NEVER been ahead. I was recently fired from my job because I used two sick days(provided Dr’s notes) and they unscheduled me the following 3 days of my work week. My supervisor and I had been playing phone tag and we didn’t get to talk until a Friday which was after my work week and my day off. Well, they’re saying I committed job abandonment, though I logged in everyday to my workphone app to see my routing, it didn’t make a different to them. So they fired me roughly a week before I was to go on leave for my wifes due date, which had actually went past the expected date. My union representative did not defend me or try to save my job. The company I was with had ENCOURAGED me to apply for unemployment, which I’ve never done before. It’s been 3-4 weeks and I only had about 4k saved up and now it’s all gone due to rent and my other bills. Now my unemployment claim is showing ineligible for payments as of today(havent received one payment yet) and now I’m sweating. I don’t know what to do and don’t want to become stuck or fall behind on anything or fail my family. I’ve worked my tail off, put myself through hell to make sure we were taken care of. But now.. I don’t know. I’m sleeping like an hour a day, stressing to a different level. I just don’t know. Anyone have some advice or words of encouragement? I’m in new jersey if that makes any difference to your response.
