So, after being a stay-at-home mom and then taking care of her husband who was disabled in an industrial accident 24 years ago, Ballard, 60, started her first job outside her home. “My husband had disability, social security and a workman’s comp sort of deal,” Ballard said. “When he died, I lost all income.
