North Texas Giving Day – Cuidado Casero Foundation
The Cuidado Casero Foundation empowers bilingual Spanish/English‑speaking students to become the next generation of nurses and healthcare leaders. Through mentorship, educational programs, and community‑based support, we guide high school students toward nursing careers—helping close the critical shortage of bilingual, culturally competent nurses in North Texas.
Your gift helps us increase the number of skilled bilingual RNs and LVNs who can provide safe, equitable, and compassionate care to Spanish‑speaking families. With more than 27% of Tarrant County residents speaking Spanish at home, the need for bilingual nurses has never been greater.
By supporting CCF, you are investing in students, strengthening families, and building a healthcare workforce that truly reflects and serves our community.
Together, We Can Build the Healthcare Workforce Our Community Deserves

Thank you for believing in our mission and investing in the future of bilingual nursing.
Empowering bilingual Spanish‑speaking students to become the healthcare leaders who will advance the well‑being of our nation and the communities we serve.
The Cuidado Casero Foundation strengthens our community by providing mentorship, support, and scholarships to individuals pursuing a nursing degree. We help students access the education, tools, and opportunities they need to succeed in the nursing profession.
This North Texas Giving Day, we are raising funds to support bilingual Spanish‑speaking nursing students with scholarships and essential educational resources. Many of our students come from financially challenged families, and the cost of required tools—like a quality stethoscope—can be overwhelming.
Nursing school is demanding, and students often graduate with significant debt. As Dr. Umebayashi, Vice Provost of the School of Health Sciences, explains:
“Nurses need the right tools to do their jobs effectively. A quality stethoscope is crucial for learning and for identifying the subtle sounds that signal abnormal conditions.”
Dr. Carmen Santiago, a respected nursing educator, adds:
“A stethoscope is the first signature symbol of becoming a nurse. It’s used every single shift, from start to finish.”
A high‑quality stethoscope is more than a tool—it’s a symbol of commitment, confidence, and readiness to care for patients with skill and compassion.
