My name is Lorenzo, and I am a revert to Islam alhamdulillah.

Some time ago, I was blessed with the opportunity to perform Umrah for the first time. It was an experience that had a profound impact on my faith. Standing before the Kaʿbah and visiting the sacred cities of Makkah and Madinah strengthened my connection to Allah in a way that is difficult to put into words.

What made that journey possible was the generosity of people who fully funded my Umrah so that I, as a new Muslim, could experience it. Their kindness is something I will never forget.

Now, I want to help make that same opportunity possible for other reverts. I’m teaming up with The Revert Umrah to help support and facilitate Umrah trips specifically for new Muslims, creating opportunities for others to experience the same life-changing journey I was once blessed with.

Many new Muslims begin their journey without the support systems that others may have, and something like Umrah can feel out of reach. Through these efforts, the aim is to help reverts experience Umrah in a supportive and guided environment where they can learn, grow in their faith, and connect with others on a similar path.

The funding will help cover the essential costs involved in organising and facilitating these trips, including:

• International flights

• Accommodation in Makkah and Madinah

• Umrah visa and travel documentation

• Ground transport within Saudi Arabia

• Preparation sessions and guidance before the trip

• Administrative, organisational, and logistical costs required to coordinate and safely manage the group journey

Any support, no matter how small, would mean a great deal and will contribute towards helping new Muslims experience a journey that can have a lasting impact on their faith.

If you are unable to donate, sharing this page or keeping me in your duʿā would also be greatly appreciated.

May Allah reward everyone who contributes and make it a means of blessing for all those involved.
