We Need Your Help!

We ensure that our young creators are fairly paid for their work, but all the content on VoiceBox remains free for you to enjoy on a safe, ad-free platform. To keep it this way, we rely on the generous support from readers like you.

Please consider making a donation, no matter how small. Every penny goes directly to supporting young creators, and it only takes a minute of your time. Thank you!

An image depicting a laughing woman in tears and wearing a pink dress being twirled around by a transparent figure of a smiling man.

"Now the loss of you is a living thing and I don't want to be alone with it"

I was inspired by the above... quote? Poem? Exhale? I don't quite know, but someone close to me came up with it (and let me have it) and I found myself irresistibly moved to draw something to capture what I felt when I read it. 

Support Young Creators Like This One! 

VoiceBox is a platform built to help young creators thrive. We believe that sharing thoughtful, high-quality content deserves pay even if your audience isn’t 100,000 strong. 

But here's the thing: while you enjoy free content, our young contributors from all over the world are fairly compensated for their work. To keep this up, we need your help.

  • Compensate young creators for their work
