OVERLAND PARK, Kan. — A young boy’s wish granted, allowing him to play inside his Overland Park home since he can’t always go to the park.
Owen Cigich has battled cancer and kidney disease. He’s still waiting on a life-saving transplant. But a group of people are coming together to make sure he still gets to do what he loves most, play.
FOX4 spoke with Owen’s family earlier this year when they shared they’re looking for a kidney donor for Owen . As the search continues, Make-A-Wish and Victory Project with Sporting KC came together to build Owen his own indoor playground.
Owen is holding the fort down at home. It’s his new indoor playground with a rock climbing wall, slide, tunnels and secret room. His space to play and be a kid.

“His kidneys right now are kind of right there where we might need to start dialysis if we can’t find a donor soon and so keeping him inside in a spot to play and have fun especially when its warm outside is best for him,” Owen’s mom Kathleen Cigich said.
