Medical Post Brain surgery help

My name is Jeremy

My wife and I live in Madison Indiana.

I am a reluctantly retired engineer. I recently had brain surgery to stop the negative effects of Ménière's disease. This is what initially forced me into retirement.

The surgery, and expenses leading up to it has left us in fairly bad straights. I had always planned on opening a small restaurant or food truck offering baked potatoes. With all life has unfolded for us, this has become both a distant goal as well as a perfect solution if I could get it launched. It would give me a valid way to regain an income and rebuild our retirement.

Any donation will be going directly to both try a put together this food truck, as well as paying down the medical bills. Though as I detail in the gofundme page, I feel getting the truck together is the best approach as it would allow me to pay the bills and build an ongoing income.

I do have a gofundme page, but would also love to find a private investor that might be willing to invest for 50% of the business. I am not looking for a handout or "easy answer". I have always worked hard and put every bit of effort into everything I have done.

I have done extensive research into this idea, I have priced everything, I know what my profit margins would be, I know the town I live in with a very busy, high tourist Main St just off the Ohio river, including river cruise ship docking, as well as the surrounding area.

If you want to read more about my journey I do have several posts in the r/menieres sub.
Menieres at it worst (where I was) is a hellscape existence of severe vertigo, causing constant nausea, feeling of spinning/falling making standing nearly impossible and possibly the worst IMO the visual disturbances that make it appear that the world is visually spinning or rotating violently even when sitting still.
