Associazione Laura Coviello

Associazione Laura Coviello is an Italian non-profit association based in Milan. It was established in February 1996 by the relatives and doctors who had cared for Laura Coviello, a young woman diagnosed with leukemia at the age of 24. The association's emblem is a sunflower — a flower loved by Laura — together with the sun that illuminates it, chosen as symbols of life and hope. The association actively supports the Bone Marrow Transplant Center at the Fondazione IRCCS Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico di Milano. Its fundamental objective is to improve the quality of life of leukemia patients, in many cases filling the gaps that public hospitals face in finding funds to alleviate the suffering of those undergoing transplant. Its activities include improving inpatient facilities, providing useful information about the disease and transplant, organizing periodic events to meet friends and supporters and raise funds, publishing informational guides, and offering solidarity shopping initiatives. The organization operates primarily in Italy and is sustained by donations and the collaboration of supporters. Its website provides transparency materials, including its statute and reporting on how resources are used.

Associazione Laura Coviello was founded in February 1996 by the family members and physicians who had been treating Laura Coviello, a young woman who was diagnosed with leukemia at the age of 24. The association was created to support the Bone Marrow Transplant Center at the Fondazione IRCCS Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico di Milano and its patients. Its logo, a sunflower illuminated by the sun, was chosen because the sunflower was a flower loved by Laura and because both are symbols of life and hope.
