Don't give up hope. Assuming that your condenser (the thing in front of the radiator) is usable, you can get the rest of the parts you need from a number of sources online and it shouldn't cost more than 800-1000 in total to put your system back to the way it should be, maybe less if you have any of the part you will need like compressor, brackets, etc.

Here are a few links to give you an idea of the cost and parts you need.
