Help Care for Leo Williams and His Cherished Family

Donation protected
My name is Greg Pettenaro, and I am Leo Williams' co-worker, friend, and family. Since 2007, Leo has been more than just an employee at Mercedes-Benz of Indianapolis—he has been my constant companion, sharing this journey with me and my family. Over the past 17 years, our bond has grown so strong that we consider ourselves brothers. We've spent nearly every day together, side by side—creating memories, enduring hardships, celebrating milestones, having our disagreements, and always supporting and protecting each other. We've had countless moments of laughter, tears, and joy along the way.

On Saturday, September 14th, Leo received a devastating diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. After deep and heartfelt conversations, Leo and I agreed that he needs to focus on what matters most—his own well-being, his beloved family, and his Church.

Leo is truly one of the rare, good-hearted individuals. As a devoted father to Lenisha, Sherea, Tre, Nia, and Christopher, and a loving husband to Tara, his family is always at the center of his life. His commitment to his profession is unwavering, consistently going above and beyond to ensure his customers' needs are met. Leo's dedication extends beyond his home and work, as he is also deeply involved in his church, St. John African Methodist Episcopal Church. In every aspect of his life—family, work, community, and Faith—Leo stands as a pillar of strength, compassion, and service.

Leo is a fighter and he is prepared to fight this cancer with every fiber of his being!! Therefore, our priority is to help ensure that his wife, Tara, and their family are taken care of, including any expenses that may arise for his care.

Linda, Paul, and I are pledging to match the first $50,000 raised for Leo and his family. Every dollar contributed will go directly to them.

We are deeply grateful for any support you can offer and ask that you keep our dear Leo in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
