A weekly visit for Đạt, 74, who lives alone in Hải Phòng

I'm writing for my neighbor Đạt, who's 74. Đạt lives alone in Hải Phòng, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 802 kilometers away. Đạt loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday afternoon, would mean the world. We can also arrange a phone call if you can't visit in person. All visitors will be introduced by me and I'll be there at the first meeting. I'll share references and, if you'd like, a short orientation from the local befriending charity. No special skills are needed - just kindness and patience. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
