Hi,
Search on Ebay, AliExpress or Mouser.com to find the appropriate micro USB connector.
Check the one that is in the phone at the moment to ensure that you get the correct one. They may all look the same but there are a lot of variations, e.g. where the retaining lugs are or what configuration the connections are etc.
You will also need to have SMD (Surface Mounted Device) soldering expertise and tools to perform the repair.
if this seems too daunting then contact a reputable, professional mobile phone repair service and ask for a quote to repair the phone.

My local phone / computer repair shop just confirmed for me that the solder used to connect the micro USB port to the motherboard is a higher temperature solder than what's used for the other components, intentionally to make it darn hard (nearly impossible) to replace this “wear item” in order to sell more devices.
This shop won't even attempted this repair any longer after several failed attempts and they consider themselves experts at micro soldering.
Sucks that tech. companies have all figured out this dirty little bit of truth (that we are not surgically precise in our connecting and disconnecting our cords) and so they are getting away with building in and selling planned failure.
