Today is your last chance to save a WorldVision "Last Chance Kid."
You probably already know about World Vision child sponsorship:  how you can change a child's life for just a dollar a day with things like improved nutrition, safe water, inoculations, access to health care, proper clothing, a chance to go to school, and, of course, the Gospel.
But, I'll bet you don't know about the kids that are overlooked because either they're too old, or they're not attractive enough.  Through no fault of their own, these kids are about ready to fall through the cracks.  They're not getting "lost in the system," they're about ready to be kicked out of the system… and abandoned… again. 
That's why they're known as the "Last Chance Kids."
If we don't sponsor these kids today, we don't know what their future holds – this may literally be the last chance for these kids to ever find a sponsor – they'll be gone to God knows where.
For whatever reason, these kids have not been chosen before, they've been passed-over, over and over again, and with the last flickers of hope, they're still hoping for a sponsor.  They're hoping for you.  They've watched all the other kids find sponsors over the years and get all those tangible benefits, but they're still hoping that they too, can have a dream come true – just like all the younger kids who've found sponsors.
All these Last Chance Kids need is for you to step up, make the call, and tell them that they are special to someone!  And, what's really neat, is most of these kids are old enough to really understand and truly appreciate what you're about to do – they get the importance of the choice you're about to make.
Call right now and sponsor a World Vision "Last Chance Kid" at (888) 799-49-99.
