![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
Tarino Lightbourne -- the ambulance driver who transported John Travolta's dying son to the hospital and has been charged with extortion -- says he's broke and needs help.
Outside of court yesterday in the Bahamas, Tarino said he hasn't worked since the extortion case started nearly a year ago -- and now his house is in foreclosure and he's desperate for some scratch to pay for his attorney's fees.
Tarino asks the general public to donate to his cause and even gives out two of his phone numbers ... but we bleeped them out. Sorry, Tarino ... no solicitors allowed here at TMZ.
As we first reported, the Travolta retrial -- which is definitely putting a dent in Tarino's pocketbook -- is scheduled to start September 6.

Should have not tried to extort money from a grieving family. You are getting what you deserve.

HANG'EM HIGH.
there's always got to be one in the crowd. Travolta's have & continue to be such giving & gracious people. That makes this "man" (?) even more evil & deserving of harsh punishment & then karma.
Blessings to Jett's family.

So, are the Haitians suffering their karma? Karma's a bitch is a stupid saying. Karma is an invented belief of the vengeful. I will be so glad when I never hear that saying again.

So, are the Haitians suffering their karma? Karma is a bitch is a stupid saying made up by the vengeful. I will be glad when I never hear it again. The guy is an alleged extortionist. That's why he can't get a job. No one likes being extorted. End of story.

It's not karma, it's irony. Irony is a helluva lot funnier-- that's how to differentiate the two.

309. I thought Blow Up Dolls were declared WMD's at the Republican Convention back in 2004? Or maybe it was STD's. What's the difference.
