![]() Hello! My name is Stacy Roenne and I have several years of experience in the healthcare field, specializing in Life Enrichment. I decided I wanted to do activities and work with the elderly while in college at Emporia State University. I believe I have found my calling and truly enjoy what I do. Working for Prairie Homestead is a dream come true! I am from the little town of Lakin, Kansas. As a child my family was at church every time the doors were open. I’ve known Jesus my whole life and enjoy singing hymns. I met my husband Phillip Roenne in 2016, we have been married for three years. Phil and his family have been very involved at Meridian Avenue Baptist. He and I run the Audio/Visual at church every Sunday. Phil and I have two English Bulldogs, Harley and Mertyl. I recently completed my Bachelor Degree from Emporia State this year in the field of Art. I enjoy making and teaching arts and crafts, reading, (especially Science Fiction and Cookbooks), and watching movies. I look forward to adding enrichment to our lives here at Prairie Homestead.

This has certainly been a scary year when it comes to senior citizens' health. In this age of Coronavirus, a lot of people have been focused on seniors’ physical wellness, but the truth is that this age group’s mental health is at risk as well*. Many older adults have been separated from family and friends for months, and because the pandemic shows no signs of slowing down, they aren’t sure when they’ll be able to reunite with their loved ones.
I think it’s more important than ever to show senior citizens our support, especially when it comes to giving them the resources they need to take care of their own mental health or that of a loved one. In that spirit, below is a list of information I’ve put together that I hope will offer some hope to your site’s readers.

MEDIA CONTACTKristi Zukovich, kzukovich@khf.org, 316-491-8419WICHITA, Kan. – The Kansas Health Foundation recently announced the grant recipients for the 2020 Impact and Capacity Grants (ICG) Initiative. The ICG Initiative provides one-year grants of up to $25,000 for nonprofits mission-aligned with KHF, focused on COVID-19 response and recovery. There were 91 grants awarded to nonprofit, faith-based and government organizations, totaling more than $2 million. “The KHF board embraced the opportunity to repurpose these funds to quickly react to the impact COVID-19 is having on our state,” said Matt Allen, chair of the KHF Board of Directors. “These funds will assist organizations as they respond to Kansans in need and provide core operations support to sustain their organizations during these uniquely difficult financial times.” Prompted by the urgent need to respond to the COVID-19 crisis, KHF advanced the application launch date, and due to overwhelming response, closed the initiative within two weeks. KHF fielded 477 funding proposals from organizations across the state. “This surge of requests for COVID-19 assistance demonstrates clearly that Kansans are experiencing overwhelming need as we grapple with this unprecedented crisis,” said Reggie Robinson, KHF president and CEO. “We’re proud to support these vital organizations as they continue to serve their clients and communities.” To date, KHF has authorized more than $16.3 million to support emergency COVID-19 response and recovery efforts across Kansas.
