  • Story Text: Following the terrorist attack in Berlin the musicians of the American band OneRepublic decided to help the families of the victims.
    The band's charitable foundation, Good Life, donated $100,000 (95,000 Euro) to Weisser Ring, Germany's largest support organization for victims of crime.
    The musicians visited the Christmas market the night before the terror attack, which killed 12 people and injured 48.
    Following the attack, the band tweeted: "Our thoughts go out to all the families of the victims at the Christmas Market in Berlin. We were at that market last night. So so sad."
    They are encouraging others to donate via the organisation's website or bank account.
    Weisser Ring offers help to victims of crime in many European countries.
