Non-target finance grad trying to break into IB. Need help. Strong interest in M&A and LBO

I graduated almost eight months ago but due to family medical reasons I am only now beginning my quest to enter the industry. I have had upper mid-level management experience in an industrial/manufacturing field and have successfully started a business but have not been able to pursue IB internships due to my need for steady employment and income to support my son. I am also 27 years old but am still extremely hard working and am giving my dream career in IB my full devotion. Please let me know your thoughts on my resume, my personal situation, and any advice you may have. Thank you in advance.
