Buff, that's bad luck. You are in a difficult situation but I really envy your bravery. Definitely you are commited with your project, and I hope that will be the key for your success.
Developing the app yourself it's not an option, unless you have a decent background in programming, with obviously it's not the case. Some knowledge of how things work may be worthwhile, though.
You need to find a good developer: if he or she is in the US, India or Europe is irrelevant. The problem is you can't know if someone is good developer or not, as you are not one yourself. A safe bet would be an entrepeneur with experience who could show you his past work but it will be expensive so definitely you need to raise more money.
It's easier to find an undergraduate willing to do the job but that will be like playing the russian roulette, may be it will work but may be it won't.
Something I don't understand is: what are you have been doing in the last year? If you don't code, and you don't have customers yet, Why did you quit your job?
