Today’s Guest: Steven Gendel

 

 

Steven Gendel on Investing Coast 2 Coast with Pete ASMUS and Ivan OBERON Steven Gendel is a real estate owner of Keller Williams Realty, Inc. in Livingston, NJ and founder of www.JoshHomes.org, which assists home shoppers with special needs considerations and real estate agents looking to properly access the special-needs market. Finding properly equipped homes in neighborhoods conducive to a positive lifestyle stemmed from Gendel’s personal story, whose son Josh was born with cerebral palsy and suffers from epilepsy, enduring over 30 surgeries before his 13th birthday.

The entry of Joshua into Steven and Erica’s lives came with all the usual excitement and nerves and uncertainty that all new parents feel. But, as Joshua’s condition became clear, their world changed in a way they could never have imagined. At less than 1.5 pounds, Joshua was even more delicate, weak, and helpless than other babies. Already their “normal” level of concern was shattered and replaced by a wave of uncertainty and grief. They were at once, blessed to have a child and yet devastated that he was faced with massive obstacles in his life. Their first duty as parents was to protect Joshua from harm and suffering, and already, just moments after his birth, they felt as if they had let him down. And that was just the beginning…

Overnight they went from proud expecting parents, to desperately confused parents getting a sobering crash course in raising a special needs child. Their love for Joshua of course never faltered, and was the main thing that kept them strong and focused under the tremendous pressure of their new reality. Despite the trouble, the hardships, the uncertainty, and the self-pity, they stayed together as a family and have emerged stronger, prouder, and more loving and close than they could’ve imagined in those first dark days. And, truth be told, it was Joshua who pulled them through. His desire, determination, and love were evident from day one – they simply could not fail this courageous and exceptional child.

Now, seven years later, the challenges never stop but they pale in comparison to the unconditional joy that Joshua brings to their lives. The amazing people they have met and the tremendous strength and gratefulness they have developed on this journey are truly blessings. They are challenged and grateful and fulfilled every day. So many people and organizations have eased their burden and lifted their spirits along the way, and now it’s their turn to give back to the community.

They are inspired by their son every day and they hope to share some of that inspiration with you.
