HN: please help me help my father
My father, 58, living in a European city, lost a job recently and it's very hard to find a new one for him. He used to be a CEO (a couple of times) in an agricultrure business (small biz, max 50 people). He got fired last year and it's hard for him to find a job in a smaller town (population of 50K people) he lives in. I am an entrepreneur and have some cash available (to fund an average salary of one person in my country for 3 years). I'd like to help my dear father = maybe there's a way I could fund and create an agriculture startup? Or something else? I am worried he might not be able to find another job before his retirement age (at the age of 65) - I know this is a very hard situation for him and I'd like to help him since he helped me a lot in my life - I owe it to him. What would you hacker guys (or girls) do? Maybe there's something I could do for my father. Maybe have him create a real investment project (a small house) (which I'd fund) and have him build it and sell it? Or something else?
I want him to feel he is useful and that his life still has a lot of purpose.
My father is excellent at managing people and generally overseeing a business.
Thank you for listening - this means everything to me!
