Helping my Disabled wife run her Business

My wife runs an Acrylic Art Business out of our home. She is an Epileptic, so art is her outlet. Teaching and selling art is therapy for her. When she needs help, I help her with moving canvases and shipping them to customers, I help put together the bags for the paint parties she does, and mainly its moral support I give her.
