Nikon DSLR's body mount for lens broken- HELP?

My Nikon took a spill when I dropped my backpack :(
It is the D5000 model,
and the mount on the body itself for the lens is broken, 2 of the pieces snapped off
so the lens can be partially mounted on but it has to be held onto the body to take a picture
which basically means zooming and attempting to do manual settings just doesn't work

does anyone know if there is a part for the body that can be ordered so I don't have to get it fixed (expensive) or buy a new body (even more expensive)?
remember, this is not the LENS mount, it's the part on the body itself
There's plenty of info for the lens… which is completely fine
