I have been living in Izmir for 50 years, I have never seen such service.
Hüseyin Adult, 72, residing in the Çamlıkule District of Buca, said, “We applied to the Metropolitan Municipality. I did not know that they provided this service, I learned through a friend. I'm home alone, I don't have a leg. May Allah be pleased with them, they come from the teams to clean my house, have my bath, and cut my hair and beard. I've been living in Izmir for 50 years and have never seen such a service. It is necessary to sit crookedly and speak correctly, I have not seen such service before Tunç President.”
Both physical therapy and faucet repair
Emine Kosva, who had a stroke about a year ago, said: “I was completely bedridden. My doctor prescribed physical therapy. As a result of the efforts of physiotherapists, I am now able to walk alone gradually. God bless you. My body is renewed, it's getting better. I am very pleased,” she said. Halit Kosva, wife of Emine Kosva, also expressed her satisfaction with the service and said, “Our Mayor Tunç SoyerWe are grateful to and his team. The teams came for my wife's physical therapy, but when they saw the deficiencies in the house, they also intervened. Thank you very much,” he said.
Our worlds go dark if they don't knock on our door
Sultan Özcan, whose wife is bedridden, said, “May Allah be pleased with all the teams and those who provide this service. My patient's nails are being cut. They're taking a shower. We are so pleased. He who is ungrateful becomes blind. Without you, we are devastated. My daughter cannot carry it. We can't let strangers into our house. A new service has been started. Our fountain is broken. The worlds became ours. We are old and we can't. If they don't knock on our door, our world will go dark," he said.
