After active duty I joined the NG but couldn’t make drills due to finances. Is there a way for me to re-enlist?

I am confused.
It seems that you are suggesting that you couldn't get to drill because of (gas money, cab fare, etc). Yet, going to drill actually pays you money, and if you are in the Guard, you aren't driving very far.
There are a whole bunch of Soldiers there that can help a brother out with car pooling, too.
Now with that out of the way, it would seem that your unit U'd you out for failure to attend 13 UTAs in a calendar year. With that type of discharge, it will take a waiver to get back in.
I can tell you that a s a former SAA who had to handle these kinds of situations, I was very leery of bringing in a Soldier in this circumstance. The story had better be good.
Better than "I didn't have gas money".
The odds of a Soldier U-ing out again are very high.

SPC David Willis - This cat was in long enough to make E-4. Somehow, he figured it out... and then he didn't.
I will wait and see how he responds before being too harsh, but I have been doing this for a minute, and so far he fits a certain archetype.

I loved about 2 hours away from my unit when I was national guard and the job I had didn’t pay very much. So the money I did have had to go towards rent and bills. It wasn’t because I didn’t want to. I loved the military and the only reason I got out on my eyes was due to the fact I wanted to see if there was something else I wanted to do. I promise 1SG last thing I ever wanted to do was disrespect the uniform and not show up.

SPC David Willis - Why are guys coming from out of state? Generally when I see that for enlisted personnel it is because that unit offered something special. Are you in the 151st, or whatever they are calling them today?

If you want to do that you should contact your unit and request a conditional release due to a financial hardship. It doesn't mean that they will let you though.
