With a heavy heart, I, Josh Osterbur, want to share that I will be officially stepping down as Program Lead for Project Healing Waters Rapid City effective August 1st.
With the help of Fred and several others, I will be finishing out our June and July events before passing the torch. After much thought and prayer, I believe it is time for new ideas, new energy, and new opportunities to help the program continue to grow and serve our veterans.
If anyone is interested in helping Fred and becoming more involved, please reach out. Project Healing Waters is an incredible program that has positively impacted many lives, and it deserves continued support from our community.
I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to have been part of this journey since 2018. Along the way, I have met some truly remarkable people and built friendships that I will always cherish. I hope that in some small way I have helped others, just as each of you has helped me.
While this decision was not an easy one, it is time for me to focus on my personal health and spend more time with my children and family. That said, I am not disappearing—I will still be around and involved whenever I can be.
Thank you to every volunteer, veteran, supporter, donor, and friend who has been part of this journey. Your dedication and kindness have meant more than words can express.
God's speed to all of you, and thank you
