By the moment Susan Grimsley earned it to her office Saturday night, June 11, she was straightaway faced along with excellent news, unsatisfactory news, and much better news.
Grimsley, that serves as executive director for the Florida Pregnancy Care Network (FPCN) in Tallahassee, located out Saturday evening that her organization’s two-story building had been strike along with lightning, which engulfed the leading story in flames.
The excellent news was, the office area FPCN occupies was untouched by the non-injury blaze. The unsatisfactory news, about the others hand, was the firefighters’ initiatives to quench the fire had destroyed nearly every little thing inside Grimsley’s office.
The much better news—along with the minimal loss FPCN incurred due to the fact that their files were backed up about a Carbonite cloud server—was Grimsley and the remainder of her three-individual staff have actually hardly skipped a beat in the week because the fire.
“We’re executing fairly well,” Grimsley, whose organization serves 97 pregnancy advice facilities in the state, said. “We’ve had so lots of points come with each other for us. Coincidentally, my husband’s office is not also a block away from our offices that burned, and he’s got sufficient area to have actually us job in right here temporarily.”
While FPCN’s relocation to Grimsley’s husband’s office area is a useful sufficient start, FPCN’s landlord has actually upped the ante about generosity, supplying to home the organization in an office across the street while the fire-damaged facility is rebuilt.

The strategy is to relocate in to the temporary office the week of June 20, much less compared to 2 weeks after the fire.
The blaze comes in the midst of FPCN’s current push to reach abortion-vulnerable women statewide and connect them to local, community-based advice through Heartbeat International’s 24-7 pregnancy helpline, Selection Line.
Last August, the say of Florida doubled the annual budget of its Pregnancy Assist Solutions Program to $4 million each year, which FPCN facilitates. Participating pregnancy advice organizations obtain $60 each hr for therapy and classroom instruction, and are reimbursed $1.50 each pregnancy test.
“Our pregnancy facilities are being wonderful,” Grimsley said. “They’ve every one of been earned aware of this, and they’re being patient. We’re merely plugging along. God is good—He brings beauty from powders and that’s just what we’re counting on.”
