Looking for a friendly person in Austin to visit Matthew once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Matthew, who's 76. Matthew lives alone in Austin, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Matthew loves cricket, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Denpasar.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 18 people at work
