One Republic have donated over $100,000 (€95,000) to a German non-profit organisation to help families of the victims of the Berlin terror attack.
On December 19th, an attacker drove a lorry truck into the crowded Christmas market and killed 12 people, injuring 48 others.
The band’s Good Life Foundation donated the money to Weisser Ring, an organisation active in several European countries that supports victims of crime.
One Republic sent a message to the victims to show their support and revealed they had just been in the city the day before.
