broke my non-replaceable rear derailleur hanger - options?

Hi all, while trying to align a non-replaceable rear derailleur hanger, I cracked it. Embarrassing!

I was repairing an older Schwinn cruiser. It's a cool bike that someone will enjoy.

I'm told I should convert from 7 speed to single speed, since the new hangar might not cover all cogs. I don't really understand this. And, I'm unclear of the steps to install a new hanger.

I need help researching a replacement hangar and freewheel if converting to single speed is the best approach.

What are my options to save this cruiser?

Thanks in advance.
