HELP!!!!

So... my camera is on the fritz... every time I turn it on it says "LENS ERROR, PLEASE RESTART"... but I try to turn it off and on and it does not want to work.... I was going to do a google search for places in the area that fix cameras but figured I would send a SHOUT OUT as well for some possible suggestions... I am LOST without my camera... anyone have any suggestions besides buying a NEW ONE? Your girl doesn't have money for that...
