Not sure if there are kids in Elfin cove anymore but if so that might be an option for her. Or look at Hoonah, Angoon, Pelican, and Gustavus. There you could deckhand fairly easy if you don't get seasick and are a hard worker. That would take care of spring, summer, and fall. Trap in the winter. You need to be creative and think outside the box. Anyone advising you to flip burgers is out of their mind. You don't move to AK to flip [bleep] burgers.
I can only help you with the areas I know. Alaska is a BIG AZZ state. There is plenty of work there for a guy willing to work hard and start at the bottom.
Good Luck leave the tires alone and hit the road to AK.
