Seer Outfitters, who has been a long-time supporter of Seer Group, launched a new idea. One of telling the stories of uncommon good around the country, and promoting the idea that we can all do things outside of the ordinary for our neighbors. Here is a little something they wrote about us here in Utah.

UnCommon Good

A few years back, we found someone we believed in. We set up the means for a little shop and asked him to meet the needs of the neediest folk around him.  The ideas went wild. “We should build someone a house!”  It was exciting.  And would be a great story to tell.  Glory through philanthropy! And so we tried. Valiantly. And it failed. Miserably. The gift of humility was bestowed upon us.  And it was the best thing to ever happen for us.  You see, that story was about us.

What we found, through a wild chain of events, was hundreds of families were desperate for a wheel chair accessible ramp, but without an extra ten thousand dollars to buy one. Ramps. Not so glamorous… But it was the need. And so we started.

The stories were overwhelming, and so many were so similar. Life was going along at a nice clip, but in a blink of an eye it was forever changed.  Sickness, degenerative disease, permanent injury from an accident, or something as beautiful as a new child born with a disability and there was a family trying to figure out how to cope and move on in their new circumstances.  Often our paths don’t cross another’s who has survived such a tragedy, but here, the coincidences haven’t stopped lining up.  So under the name Seer Group, we have built and installed over a hundred ramps at no cost to the family in need.

The need has been the call for us here in Salt Lake City.  We look forward to seeing how Seer Group may evolve but one thing is for sure, we are rooted here, living life together, building bridges and letting rain fall.
