Homeowners group relents, Oks playhouse for girl with cancer

(KANSAS CITY, Mo., AP) — A young girl with leukemia who asked for a playhouse in her backyard, but was denied after a homeowners association blocked it, will get her wish after all.

The homeowners group in the Kansas City, Missouri, suburb of Raymore met Thursday to reconsider a “barn-style” playhouse proposal it had turned down for not having enough details. It said in a statement that its board gathered more information after meeting with a construction group and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
