Help Keep Our Kids Spa Open

New York, NY – For nearly a decade, Milk & Cookies Kids Spa has been more than a business — it's been a place where children build confidence, celebrate milestones, and experience joy in a safe, inclusive environment. Now, due to rising costs and limited resources, this beloved community space is facing closure unless urgent help is received.

Founded and operated by two cousins with a passion for beauty, wellness, and community, Milk & Cookies Kids Spa has served thousands of families, hosted countless birthday parties, and offered youth mentorship and job training programs through local organizations.

“This isn’t just a spa — it’s a place where children feel seen, celebrated, and safe,” says co-owner Teychenne Whitley. “We’ve poured everything into this business. We just need a lifeline.”

The Call for Support:

Due to back rent, rising overhead, and pandemic recovery setbacks, the business is in urgent need of funding to avoid shutting its doors. The team is seeking donations, media visibility, and partnership opportunities to help cover immediate operating costs and reintroduce their one-of-a-kind services to new audiences.
