She said, “We are grateful to you for remembering us and coming to our aid. The sanitary pads are very vital especially for our girls and in the times we find ourselves, the hand sanitizers come in handy. God bless you and by this I pray light will shine on this gesture of yours so that others can also do same. Thank you.”

CEO of Dome 21st clinic, Dr Blessed Foster, thanked Abena on behalf of the aged. “I’m really happy that you did this for our mothers, love is all we need and on their behalf I’m grateful. At least those who have not done check up in a long time today know how their system is faring and it’s all because of you.”

Speaking with Graphic Showbiz later about her gesture, Abena said it was a necessity. “something directed me to do this, it felt like I was led, I did one and I was not ok, I felt the need to do another.
"The truth is that God has been faithful, sustaining me through it all so this is nothing. If I had more, I would have done even more, as public figures we need to be doing these things more often. We need to continue spreading love and putting smiles on people's faces both on air and off air.”
