The family of an international aid worker from Prescott who was killed while being held captive by the Islamic State group wants a playground built in her memory.
The Daily Courier in Prescott says Kayla Mueller's parents are hoping the local chapter of the Kiwanis service organization can raise $80,000 for the Kayla's Hands playground.
The project is one of the top 10 entries vying for $25,000 in a competition sponsored by Kiwanis International.
Carl Mueller says there is no gravesite or even an urn for his daughter. But the family plans on having the playground with a plaque bearing her name.
The Kiwanis Club of Prescott also plans to raise money with a golf tournament in October.
Kayla Mueller's death was confirmed in February by U.S. officials.
