Default Can Zuiko 14-42 be repaired after drop?

Help!
I had my camera for 4 years before I ever dropped it... then, on my birthday, my camera fell off my bed and landed lens-first.
I took my lens to a camera store, and they couldn't get the lens to focus and said they couldn't fix it.
I bought a new 14-42, and wouldn't you know... it fell off a desk only 6 short weeks later! Now I have two non-working lenses, and a serious lack of funds. Purchasing another lens is not an option. I am super mad at myself for letting my camera hit the floor, that is very unlike me. My camera is my baby!
Does anyone out there know if it is possible to repair a Zuiko 14-42? Any advice is much appreciated! I have no idea how I am to survive the holidays without my camera. Boo hoo!

Default Can Zuiko lens be repaired

My camera fell while on the tripod and my 14-42mm lens broke off the camera. I was told it can be fixed for about $65 but only the mount broke. Good luck.

Dont go to a photo store: go to a repair place, or talk directly with Olympus.
