But instead of giving in to the fatal illness, the former real estate agent signed up for Uber in order to pay off the $95,000 owed on his home, so his daughter and her children might inherit it debt free. Incredibly, a college student who does not know Broskey, but who happened to catch an Uber ride from him, set up a GoFundMe campaign that has raised the full amount and more.
